Never leave the treadmill unattended while it is running. When not in use, remove the safety key, turn the on/off switch to off and unplug the power cord. Make sure to follow the MAINTENANCE schedule located on page 30 in this manual. Keep your body and head facing forward. Do not attempt to turn around or look backwards while the treadmill is running. Stop your workout immediately if you feel pain, faint, dizzy or are short of breath.

TENSIONINGTHE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can move
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving during tensioning.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, turn the treadmill off and tension both the rear roller bolts using the supplied Allen wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.

Belt is too far to the left side |
CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can move
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than 1/2 mph while centering. Keep fingers, hair and clothing away from belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right side: With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side: With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right adjustment bolt
