PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
The walking belt is
key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt has shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the left idler roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left idler roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

When the walking belt is cor- rectly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walk- ing belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, in- sert the key, and carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes.

LUBRICATING THE WALKING BELT
When the treadmill is used regularly, lubricate the walking belt every two to six months. If the underside of the walking belt does not feel slick to the touch, lubricate the walking belt. If additional lubricant is needed, see the front cover of this manual.
To lubricate the walking belt, remove the key from the console
and unplug the power cord. Pull the left and right edges of theSeam walking belt toward the idler roller, until the seam of the walking
belt is above the middle of the walking platform. Avoid pinching your fingers.
Insert the spray valve into the lubricant bottle. Lift the right edge of the walking belt and spray lubricant underneath the walking belt for approximately four seconds. Make sure to spray lubricant near the center of the walking belt and near the front and back of the treadmill. Repeat this step on the left side of the tread- mill. Wait one minute before starting the treadmill.
