Checking the Alignment and Adjusting the Running Belt
Proper belt alignment allows the belt to remain centered and ensures smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, call Precor Customer Support at
To check the alignment:
1.The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is placed on an uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
Important: Do not raise or lower the unit beyond 2 centimeters (¾ inch). Check the level of the unit after each adjustment.
2.Turn the unit ON.
3.Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.
4.If you are prompted for a password, press

5.Press the SPEED s key until the display shows a speed of 3 mph (5 kph).
6.Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes. The belt should run centered along the running bed. If the belt drifts off center, you will need to make adjustments.
Important: If the belt needs alignment, make the adjustments immediately after turning the treadmill OFF. Failure to do so may cause the belt to tear or fray, which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.
7.To stop the running belt, press the red STOP button.
8.Turn the treadmill OFF.

•If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt ¼ turn
counterclockwise, which moves the running belt to the right.
• If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise; this moves the belt to the left.
Important: Do not turn the adjusting
bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Overtightening the bolt can damage the treadmill.
2. Recheck the alignment of the running belt.
