SOURCE: Err LS on Bowflex Treadmill
The machine needs to be re-callibrated. L5 error.
Your speed sensor must have been damaged either during shipping or use. You'll need a new one. If under warranty - give Bowflex a call. They will ship you out a new sensor and guide you through installing it via the phone... re-calibrating the machine... and getting it operational again. It will take about 2 hours.
The instruction book doesn't mention calibration. be sure to not callibrate in metrics, however (there's no way to easily tell the difference - you have to ask) or you'll be strolling like a walk in the park at 5 "mph".
Thanks for using FixY - a FixYa rating is appreciated!!
SOURCE: incline motor is not working
Dear Sir:
1) If everything is working , now the only thing you can do:
2) check the Motor Lift the Voltage DC ( direct current) is diffferent from the Motor Drive that work with 115 VAC( Voltage alternating current). See the Voltage in the plate of the Motor if 48Vdc or whatever voltage is indicated.
3) Check the breaker and reset , and clean with solution with 50% oxigened water and 50& ethilic alcohol (100%).
4) If all is clean, turn on the motor Lift, and See if there are voltage and the terminal Motor( Check with VOM-Voltimeter in the range DC,) .
Check again the voltage indicate in the plate of Motor, if the Motor is NOT Working, the Motor is Bad( Some brushes wear, and winding overheating) replace or repair.
Conctac me, if you need some additional Help.
sincerely.
Have a great time, blessing.

There are four typical causes for this problem : 1) The walking belt and/or deck are worn. (85% of the
time)
2) The walking belt and/or motor belt are too
tight- if you have adjusted either recently. (8% of the time)
3) The motor has lost torque and needs brushes or has
demagnetized. (5% of the time)
4) The controller board is
dropping output. (2% of the time) . You can do it foryourlsef. However i will give some websites FOR TO CONTACT THEM:

The Steps
for Newer Style Console Calibration:
Locate the calibration area on the
rear or underside of the console (a hole, near the console's center,
that goes through to the electronics board. (This hole should not
have a screw in it.)
Insert a pencil (eraser end),
into the hole and feel around for the cal button (will click
when pressed).
Press the button 2 times
(with the pencil eraser). The first click should show CL11
in the console, the second click should show CL21.
If the process was done correctly,
and CL21 appears in the console, you are in "calibration
mode." The next few steps consists of pressing buttons
on the console and observing settings. This will not require
any other tools.
Press ENTER. CL22 should display
in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL23 should display
in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL24 should display
in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL25 should
display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.
Press ENTER. CL26 should
display in the TIME window. You should then see the
letter "E."
Press ENTER. You should see "SS"
or "55" in the console.
Push the STOP/START button. For
safety, at this point, you should step off, or be off, the
treadmill.
Push the ENTER button. The walking
belt should start to move, accelerate to maximum speed, then stop on
its own.
When the belt stops, the
incline should self test by raising to its highest
incline position, then lowering back down to its lowest
position.
Once the incline test is complete,
push the POWER button 2 times. The unit should shut off and the
console should go completely blank. If this happens, the
treadmill is done calibrating and is ready for use.
