Adjusting the Elevation Tube

The elevation tube is set at the factory at the lowest setting. To receive optimal performance, reposition the height adjustment pin by taking the following steps:

1.Determine the proper Elevation Tube setting. (Table 1) The elevation tube provides six different settings. Each setting provides a different level of resistance needed (dependent on your weight) to maintain an efficient workout. To get optimal performance from your treadmill, refer to settings shown in Table 1.

To determine if you have set the proper elevation for your height, stand on the running belt with your hands on the handrail for balance. Your feet should slide slowly and easily away toward the rear of the treadmill. Continue walking and when you are comfortable and well-balanced on the treadmill, release your grip on the handrail. The running belt should continue to move freely while you maintain your momentum. If the running belt slows, stops, or becomes more difficult to walk on, consider moving the elevation tube up one more setting.

#4 80 to 100 pounds #3 100 through 140 pounds

#2 140 through 200 pounds

#1 200 pounds (lbs) and above

Note: Table 1 is an approximation and elevation tube settings may vary slightly depending on differences in weight and the amount of lubrication between the running belt and deck. Over time and extended use, you may need to readjust the elevation tube setting. Remember that you want to be able to maintain your momentum on the running belt without having to push off from the handrail. A lubrication kit, available from your local dealer, can be used as the equipment ages or friction (between the running belt and deck) increases. If you do lubricate the deck, you may need to change the elevation setting. See Obtaining Service for more information.
