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:
1.The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Check to make sure that the running surface is level (refer to steps 14 - 16 on the previous pages). If the treadmill is placed on a slightly uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
2.Locate the ON/OFF (I/O) switch at the front of the treadmill and turn the unit ON.
3.Stand beside the treadmill and press Quick Start.
4.If necessary, enter the password: Incline ▼, Speed ▼, Speed ▲.
The running belt starts automatically after the message, “Belt Starting 3, 2, 1,...” appears.
5.Continue standing next to the treadmill and hold down the Speed ▲ key until the display shows a speed of 3 miles per hour (5 kph).
6.Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes as it moves.

| Aligning the Running Belt, page 42. |
Important: If you notice that the belt needs alignment, make the adjustments at once. Failure to do so might cause the belt to tear or fray which is not covered by the Precor limited warranty.
7.To stop the running belt, press the red Stop button.
If the belt is functioning correctly, the M9.55 treadmill is ready to use.
