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.
Follow these steps to check the alignment:
CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.
1. On the electronic console, move the magnetic safety key to the ACTIVATE
position. Locate the ON/OFF switch at the front of the treadmill and turn
ON the treadmill.
2. Stand beside the treadmill and answer the standard start-up questions as
instructed below:
a. At the “ENTER WEIGHT” prompt, use the arrow keys to specify a
weight and press the SCAN/ENTER key.
b. At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, use the arrow keys to select
“MANL” (Manual) mode and press SCAN/ENTER.
3. Continue standing next to the treadmill and bring the running belt up to a
speed of 2 miles per hour by pressing the SPEED key.
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.
4. Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt as it moves (watch
for a couple of minutes).
