Assembling and Maintaining TRM 800-Series Treadmills

Leveling the Unit

The treadmill deck must be absolutely level from side to side

to keep the belt in alignment and ensure proper operation. If

the load is not equally distributed across the treadmill deck,

users may feel excessive vibration or observe it at the

console. You must make sure the deck is level before allowing

anyone to use the treadmill.
Important: Observe the following precautions throughout this

procedure:

Adjust only one rear foot at a time.

Do not raise the unit beyond ³⁄₄ inch (2 cm).

Install the unit only on an absolutely even surface. Adjusting

the rear feet cannot compensate for variations in the surface

under the unit.

To level the treadmill:
1.

Place a bubble level across the running belt to see

whether the treadmill is level.
