ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT
The correct alignment of the running belt is critical to the smooth operation of the treadmill.The belt is properly aligned at the factory. However, during shipping and handling or by use on an uneven surface, the belt may move off center and require a few simple adjustments.
Before aligning the running belt, check its operation by following the procedure in Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt on page 20. 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 right 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.) See Diagram 24. The direction you turn the bolt depends on how the belt is tracking. Make all belt adjustments on the right rear corner bolt using the hex key provided.
•If the belt is off center to the RIGHT, turn the adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise, which moves the running belt to the left.
•If the belt tracks off center to the LEFT, turn the bolt 1/4 turn counter- clockwise; this moves the belt to the right.
Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time. Over- tightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.
