Key Features and Specifications
The NordicTrack 1750 boasts a powerful motor, incline/decline functionality, a spacious running surface, iFit compatibility, and Bluetooth connectivity for a premium experience.
Motor and Incline/Decline Capabilities
The NordicTrack 1750 is equipped with a robust 3.5 CHP motor, designed to handle intense workouts and extended use. This powerful motor provides consistent performance, even during high-speed runs or challenging incline training. A key feature is the treadmill’s impressive incline and decline capabilities. It offers incline adjustments from -3% to 15%, simulating both uphill and downhill running conditions.
This range allows users to target different muscle groups and enhance their cardiovascular fitness. The decline feature is particularly useful for replicating outdoor terrain and reducing impact on joints. Precise digital controls enable quick and easy adjustments to both incline and speed, allowing for customized workout experiences. The motor’s durability and the wide range of incline/decline options contribute to the treadmill’s versatility and effectiveness.
Running Surface and Cushioning System
The NordicTrack 1750 boasts a spacious 20” x 55” running surface, providing ample room for comfortable strides, even during high-intensity sprints. This generous size accommodates users of various heights and running styles. Crucially, the treadmill incorporates a sophisticated cushioning system, designed to minimize impact on joints and reduce fatigue.
This system, often referred to as FlexSelect cushioning, allows users to adjust the level of impact absorption based on their preference and workout type. A softer setting is ideal for recovery runs or long distances, while a firmer setting provides a more responsive feel for speed work. The combination of a large running surface and adjustable cushioning contributes significantly to a comfortable and effective workout experience, reducing the risk of injury.
Connectivity: iFit and Bluetooth
The NordicTrack 1750 excels in connectivity, primarily through its seamless integration with iFit, NordicTrack’s interactive fitness platform. A subscription unlocks a vast library of on-demand workouts, led by certified trainers, and immersive studio classes. The treadmill also features Bluetooth connectivity, enabling pairing with headphones for personalized audio experiences and heart rate monitors for accurate fitness tracking.
Furthermore, Bluetooth allows for direct data synchronization with the iFit app, providing detailed workout statistics and progress monitoring. While iFit is a subscription service, the treadmill’s Bluetooth capabilities extend beyond, supporting connections to other fitness apps. This versatile connectivity enhances the overall workout experience, offering both guided training and personalized customization options.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular cleaning, belt/deck upkeep, and addressing error codes are crucial for maintaining your NordicTrack 1750’s performance and longevity, ensuring smooth operation.
Regular Cleaning and Lubrication
Maintaining a clean treadmill is vital for optimal performance and longevity. Dust, dirt, and sweat can accumulate, impacting functionality and potentially causing damage. Regularly wipe down the console, handrails, and side rails with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Crucially, the running deck requires periodic lubrication to reduce friction and wear. NordicTrack recommends using a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for treadmills. Apply lubricant under the deck, following the manufacturer’s instructions – typically every few months, or more frequently with heavy use. Insufficient lubrication can lead to belt slippage and increased motor strain. Always unplug the treadmill before performing any maintenance.
Inspect the power cord for damage and ensure proper ventilation around the machine. A clean treadmill operates more efficiently and provides a safer workout experience.
Belt and Deck Maintenance
The treadmill belt and deck are critical components requiring consistent attention. Regularly check the belt for wear and tear, including fraying, cracks, or unevenness. Ensure the belt is properly centered; if it drifts to one side, adjust the rear roller using the adjustment bolts. This prevents friction and extends belt life.
Inspect the deck for any damage, such as warping or cracking. A damaged deck can significantly impact running comfort and performance. Periodically vacuum under the belt to remove dust and debris; Proper lubrication, as detailed in the cleaning section, is paramount for smooth operation and minimizing wear on both the belt and deck.
If the belt becomes excessively worn, consider replacement. A well-maintained belt and deck contribute to a safer and more enjoyable workout experience.
Common Error Codes and Solutions
The NordicTrack 1750 console may display error codes indicating specific issues. “ERR 1” often signals a communication problem between the console and the motor controller; try restarting the treadmill. “ERR 2” typically points to an incline/decline motor malfunction – contact customer support. A “ERR 3” code suggests a safety key issue; ensure it’s properly inserted.
If the console displays “OVERLOAD,” reduce the speed or incline. “BELT ERROR” indicates belt slippage or a centering problem, requiring adjustment. For persistent errors, unplug the treadmill for several minutes to reset the system.
Consult the full error code list in the manual or on the NordicTrack website for detailed troubleshooting steps. If issues persist after attempting these solutions, professional service is recommended.
Safety Precautions and Guidelines
Always use the safety key, understand weight limits, maintain proper form during exercise, and immediately stop if experiencing pain or dizziness while operating.
Emergency Stop Procedures
The NordicTrack 1750 is equipped with multiple safety features to ensure immediate halting of operation when necessary. The most crucial is the safety key, a tethered clip that attaches to your clothing.
Pulling the safety key from the console will instantly stop the belt, regardless of speed or incline. Familiarize yourself with its location before each workout.
Additionally, the console features an “Emergency Stop” button, typically a large, red button prominently displayed. Pressing this button also immediately halts the treadmill.
In the event of a fall or loss of control, do not attempt to step off a moving belt. Instead, activate either the safety key or the Emergency Stop button.
Regularly test both systems to confirm functionality. Ensure the safety key is securely attached and the Emergency Stop button responds promptly. Prioritize safety during every workout session.
Weight Capacity and User Limits
The NordicTrack 1750 treadmill is designed with a maximum weight capacity of 325 pounds (147 kilograms). Exceeding this limit can compromise the machine’s structural integrity and void the warranty.
It’s crucial to accurately assess your weight before using the treadmill. This ensures safe and reliable operation. The treadmill is intended for single-user operation only; multiple individuals should never be on the machine simultaneously.
Furthermore, consider the impact rating. While robust, consistent use by users nearing the weight capacity may accelerate wear and tear on components like the belt and deck.
Regular maintenance, as outlined in this manual, is even more critical for users closer to the maximum weight limit.
Adhering to these guidelines guarantees a safe and enjoyable workout experience, prolonging the treadmill’s lifespan and preventing potential injuries.
Proper Treadmill Usage
Always mount the NordicTrack 1750 from the rear, placing your foot on the side rails for stability. Avoid jumping onto the moving belt. Begin at a slow speed and gradually increase it to your desired pace.
Maintain a centered position on the running deck throughout your workout. Avoid leaning excessively to either side, as this can cause imbalance and potential injury.
Use the safety key at all times. Attach the clip to your clothing; this automatically stops the treadmill if you stumble or fall.
Wear appropriate athletic shoes with good support. Avoid using the treadmill barefoot or in socks.
Stay hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after your workout. Listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.
