Locate the Reed Switch (54) and the Magnet (42
on the left side of the Pulley (44). Turn the Pulley until the Magnet is
aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that the gap between the Magnet and
the Reed Switch is about 1/8 in. (3 mm). If necessary, loosen the M4 x
19mm Screw (1), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the Screw. Reattach
the Hood (not shown), and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a
correct speed reading
