TAKING CARE OF YOUR TREADMILL

WARNING: Always turn off and unplug the Treadmill from the electrical outlet before moving, cleaning, lubricating, or servicing the Treadmill.

Note: The Treadmill MUST be placed on a level surface only. If the Treadmill is not level, the belt will continuously slip to the low side of the Treadmill. CAUTION: DO NOT USE Treadmill if it is not on a level surface.

turn clockwise. Turn on the Treadmill and check the tension. If it needs additional tension, continue to tighten one turn at a time until the Belt is no longer slipping.

Be sure to adjust both sides equally to insure correct Belt alignment.

Have plenty of clearance behind and in front of your Treadmill. It is important to keep children, pets, furniture and other objects out of the way when using your Treadmill. You should have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance both in front of and behind your Treadmill and a minimum of 2 feet of clearance on both sides of the Treadmill.

Worn or damaged components should be replaced immediately. Do not use the Treadmill if it is not working properly. Only manufactured-supplied or approved components shall be used to maintain and repair the Treadmill. It is the sole responsibility of the user/owner to ensure that regular mainte- nance is performed.

WALKING BELT CENTERING

The Walking Belt may occasionally need to be centered. Your Treadmill has sight indexes that aid in keeping the Walking Belt centered.

First, be sure the Belt is tensioned properly. Then, run the Treadmill at 4 mph. It is easiest to use only the Left Adjustment Knob in making Walking Belt centering adjustments.

WALKING BELT TENSION

Walking Belts tend to stretch slightly with use. The Walking Belt may occasionally need to be tight- ened. If the Walking Belt is too loose, you may find the Belt stops or hesitates while running or walking. However, it is very important not to over-tighten the Walking Belt as it will damage the Motor, Rollers, and Electrical Components.

When properly tensioned, you should be able to lift the side of the Belt about 2-3 inches, or you should be able to fit three fingers under the edge of the Belt. This should be done on either side of the Belt in the center of the Deck.
