CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.
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. Contact a Precor Service Representative.
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. Take the following steps to check the alignment:
1.Insert the magnetic safety key (K) into the opening on the electronic console. Locate the ON/OFF (I/O) switch at the front of the treadmill and turn ON (I) the treadmill.
2.Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICK START. The running belt starts automatically after the display scrolls the message, “Belt Starting 3, 2, 1,...”
3.Continue standing next to the treadmill and press the SPEED ▲ key to maintain the running belt at a speed of 3 miles per hour (5 kph).
4.Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt for a few minutes as it moves.

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.
5.To stop the running belt, press STOP and remove the safety key. Store the safety key in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.
If the belt is functioning correctly, the M9.21i or M9.21si treadmill is ready to use.
