ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT:

Your TRUE treadmill requires a dedicated

110 VAC 15 amp grounded outlet circuit. WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or an ungrounded outlet. The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your treadmill and enhances your safety by preventing shock. This grounded outlet is critical for the HRC system to function properly. NOTE: Units produced for use outside of the U.S.A. will have voltage indicated on the identification tag.

BELT ADJUSTMENTS

Your treadmill’s running belt has been properly aligned at the factory. However, when the treadmill is used on an uneven surface, please follow these instructions:

PREFERRED METHOD

Level the treadmill by placing shims 1/8” to 3/8” thick under the front wheel and rear shock absorber on one side. NOTE: This method will provide extended belt life by keeping both rollers parallel. Adjusting the belt tracking by using the roller bolts will cause the belt to stretch on one side.
