Precor M9.35I manual Checking the Alignment and Adjusting the Running Belt

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. Refer to Obtaining Service.

To check the alignment:

1.The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is level before aligning or adjusting the running belt. Refer to step 17.

2.Turn the unit ON.

3.Stand beside the treadmill and press QUICKSTART.

4.If you are prompted for a password, press INCLINE ▼, SPEED ▼, SPEED ▲. The running belt starts automatically after the 3-second countdown appears on the display.

5.Press the SPEED ▲ 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.

To adjust the running belt:

CAUTION: To ensure your safety, turn OFF (O) the treadmill before making any adjustments.

1.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.) Make all belt adjustments on the right rear corner bolt using the ¼-inch hex key.

•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.
