Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt

The belt is aligned at the factory before shipment. However, during shipment or by using the treadmill on an uneven surface, the belt might move off center. Proper belt alignment is important because it allows the belt to remain centered and assures smooth operation.

Follow these steps to check the alignment:

CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.

1.On the electronic console, move the magnetic safety key to the ACTIVATE position. Locate the ON/OFF switch at the front of the treadmill and turn ON the treadmill.

2.Stand beside the treadmill and answer the standard start-up questions as instructed below:

a.At the “ENTER WEIGHT” prompt, use the arrow keys to specify a weight and press the SCAN/ENTER key.

b.At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, use the arrow keys to select “MANL” (Manual) mode and press SCAN/ENTER.

3.Continue standing next to the treadmill and bring the running belt up to a speed of 2 miles per hour by pressing the SPEED key.

CAUTION: If you hear or notice any chafing or the running belt appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt immediately by pressing the STOP key.

4.Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt as it moves (watch for a couple of minutes).

If the running belt,…	Then,...
tracks centered on the running surface	the belt is functioning
	correctly and no adjustment
	is necessary.
runs or drifts off center	you need to adjust the belt;
	see Aligning the Running Belt
	in Chapter 5.

Important: If you notice that the belt needs alignment, make the adjust- ments at once. Failure to do so might cause the belt to tear or fray which is not covered by the limited warranty.

5. Press STOP to stop the running belt.

If the belt is functioning correctly, the M9.20/s treadmill is ready to use. If the belt needs alignment, refer to Aligning the Running Belt for instructions before using the treadmill.
