Adjusting the Running Belt

If you are unsure about adjusting the running belt, call Precor Customer Support (refer to Obtaining Service).

CAUTION: Take special care when aligning the running belt. Turn OFF the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Do NOT wear loose clothing or allow your hair to hang loose during this procedure. Do NOT adjust the running belt when someone is standing on it. Be very careful to keep your fingers and 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.

Important: Make all belt adjustments on the adjusting bolts at the rear corners of the treadmill, using the hex key provided, and do not turn either bolt more than ¼ turn before checking the alignment of the running belt again. Overtightening the adjusting bolts can damage the treadmill.

To adjust the running belt:

1.Locate the adjusting bolts in the end caps at the rear corners of the treadmill, as shown in the following diagram.
