STEP 14—BREAK IN THE BELT AND DECK
Your treadmill uses a high-effi cient, low-friction, hard waxed deck and maintenance free belt. For optimal performance,
TRUE recommends a 15 minute break in period to help transfer the wax from the deck to the belt. On a brand new unit,
ensuring the wax has been adequately worked into the belt helps alleviate alignment and tension issues.
1. Turn on the treadmill.
2. Step onto the treadmill and place your feet on the straddle covers.
3. Attach the safety clip to your clothes.
4. Press Start.
5. When the treadmill starts, step onto the running belt.
6. Set the speed to 3 mph (5 kph) and set the incline to 0.5%.
7. While gripping the handrails, walk on all areas of the treadmill for at least 15 minutes to work in the wax: step side-to-
side and front-to-back.
8. Verify the belt is centered and feels smooth. If adjustments still need to be made, see RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT
and TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT on pages 32/33.
IMPORTANT! On a brand new unit, do not make any belt adjustments until you have completed this step.
