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.

1.Locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the black hood and turn ON the treadmill.
2.Stand next to the treadmill. and answer the startup questions. Select “Manual” mode.
3.Continue to stand next to the treadmill and increase the running belt speed to 6 miles per hour using the SPEED 
arrow key.
4.Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt as it runs (watch for about one minute).
