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:

CAUTION: Do not walk on the running belt during this procedure.

1.

Locate the ON/OFF power switch at the front of the black hood and turn
ON the treadmill.

2.

Stand next to the treadmill. At the WEIGHT display, accept the default
value of 150 by pressing the ENTER WEIGHT keypad.

3.

Continue to stand next to the treadmill and increase the running belt speed
to 6 miles per hour using the arrow keypad located under the TIME,
MPH, MILES display.

4.

Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt as it runs (watch for
about one minute). As you watch the belt, check its operation against the
red and green alignment label located on the hood above the left-hand
edge of the belt.
