If you plan to align the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt on page 19. If you determine that the belt needs alignment, follow the instructions here.
CAUTION: Special care must be taken when aligning the running belt.Turn OFF the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your finger or any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck.The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, call Precor Customer Support (see Obtaining Service on page 7.)
Take the following steps to align the running belt on the treadmill. To ensure your safety, make all adjustments while the treadmill is OFF.
1.Make sure the treadmill is OFF and the running belt has completely stopped.
2.Locate the left belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.) The direction you turn the bolt depends on how the belt is tracking.Make all belt adjustments on the left rear corner bolt using the hex key provided.
•If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clock- wise, which moves the running belt to the right.
•If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt 1/4 turn counter- clockwise; this moves the belt to the left.
Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time. Over- tightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.
3.Turn ON the treadmill, press QuickStart, and then increase the running belt speed to 3 mph (5 kph) by pressing Speed ▲.
CAUTION: Stand to the side of the treadmill. The running belt begins moving automatically after you press QUICKSTART.
4.Observe the running belt for a couple of minutes. The belt should be centered on the running bed. A few inches from either side of the side rail platform.
CAUTION: If you hear any chafing or the running belt appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt immediately by pressing the red Stop key. Contact Precor Customer Support.
5.If the belt needs additional alignment, repeat steps 1 through 4 of this proce- dure until the belt is properly aligned.
6.After aligning the belt, press the Stop button and Reset. Turn OFF the tread- mill.Tighten any loose fasteners or other components on the equipment. If you hear unusual noises or you feel that the treadmill is in need of repair or service, contact Precor Customer Support. Refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.
