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.
To check the alignment of the running belt, take the following steps:
1. Insert the magnetic safety key into the opening on the electronic console labeled “SAFETY
KEY BELOW.” Locate the ON/OFF switch at the front of the treadmill and turn ON the treadmill.
2. Stand beside the treadmill and press the QUICK START key. The MANUAL mode course
appears in the display. Continue standing next to the treadmill and press the SPEED A key
and maintain the running belt at a speed of 2 miles per hour (3 kph),
3. Walk to the back of the treadmill and observe the belt as it moves (watch for a couple of
minutes).
