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:

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, 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.

4.Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt as it moves (watch for a couple of minutes).
