Stuck incline on Smooth Fitness 6.25 treadmill

After long-term storage and cross-country move, the treadmill deck won't seem to lower completely flat. I can raise and lower it with the incline buttons on the control panel but it won't lower to the fully flat position .. maybe about 1 level above flat.

I have the base apart and planned to follow the directions here: https://www.treadmilldoctor.com/smooth-incline-calibration

.. but my circuit board does not match the picture and there is no button or any other obvious way to reset the incline on the circuit board itself.

Is there a button sequence to punch-in on the control board?

I see in another thread, admin-it offered to send a Smooth Fitness 9.45ST owner the service manual via email. Does treadmilldoctor/admin-it have the service manual for the 6.25 model?

Anyone help plz?

Thank you!

  • I email you directions.
  • Thank you admin-it. I will give the instructions a try.

    While I have it apart, I will clean & vacuum it out. It seriously needs it.

    This machine is over 10 years old. Is there any other basic maintenance I should do while I have it apart? (never been done before)

    Should the motor bearings be lubed? How-to?
  • No need to lube anything except the belt & deck.
