2.If the belt is off-center to the right, turn the left roller adjustment bolt counter clock-wise 1/4 turn. If the belt is off-center to the left, turn the left roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. (Figure 1 Detail 1) Observe belt: if more correction is needed, turn the adjust- ment bolt 1/4 turn and check again. Repeat as needed.

TREADBELT TENSION:

To assure maximum life of the treadbelt, roller and drive motor, make sure the treadbelt tension is set correctly. (Your treadbelt has been properly tensioned at the factory.)

SAFETY FEATURES

PADDED HAND RAIL

The padded hand rail and side rails are mounted to the rear of the control console. The bars provide a convenient support to use throughout your workout.

ON/OFF SWITCH

The on/off switch is located to the right of the power cord on the front of the machine. It completely removes AC power from your treadmill. [ It is recommended that you use this switch to turn the machine off after each work- out.]

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Your TRUE treadmill is protected from overload by a 15 amp circuit breaker that can be reset in the event of a power overload. It is located to the left of the power cord.

SAFETY KEY AND LANYARD

You can protect yourself from injuries resulting from unexpected loss of balance by attaching the lanyard to your clothing at about waist height when you use your treadmill. When the safety key is detached, your treadmill will not operate. Storing the safety key in a secured location while your treadmill is not in use will prevent children and other unauthorized users from operating your treadmill.

REAR ROLLER SHIELDS

Steel guards over the ends of the rear roller prevent towels and other items from getting caught in the running belt.

FULLY ENCLOSED MOTOR

The motor and flywheel are fully enclosed in a protective metal compartment.

LOW PROFILE FRAME

To enhance safety, TRUE treadmills are designed to be as low to the ground as possi- ble.
