1. Stand beside the treadmill, attach the safety

key on the control panel and follow operating
instructions for running the treadmill at 3
mph. (Section 2.5)

2. If the belt is off-center to the right, turn the

left roller adjustment bolt counter clock-wise
1/4 turn. If the belt is off-center to the left,
turn the left roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise. (Figure 1 Detail 1) Observe belt:
if more correction is needed, turn the adjust-
ment bolt 1/4 turn and check again. Repeat
as needed.

3. Let the machine run for several minutes to

check the alignment. (Belt alignment does
not need to be perfect).

TREADBELT TENSION:

To assure maximum life of the treadbelt, roller
and drive motor, make sure the treadbelt
tension is set correctly. (Your treadbelt has
been properly tensioned at the factory.)

Turn both rear roller adjustment bolts
(Detail 1) counter-clockwise until treadbelt
just begins slipping when walking on it, then
turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clock-
wise in equal quarter turn increments until
treadbelt stops slipping. NOTE: Be sure to
run on treadbelt to ensure that the treadbelt
does not slip while under load.
