Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the reset switch on a NordicTrack treadmill?
Usually near the power cord where it enters the machine, or on the front near the motor cover. It looks like a small button or toggle switch.
What is the safety key?
A magnetic key that attaches to the console. It is tethered to your clothing. If you fall, it pulls off and stops the belt immediately.
