Checking the Alignment of the
Running Belt
Proper belt alignment allows the belt to remain
centered and ensures smooth operation. Realigning the
belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure
about this procedure, call Precor Customer Support.
CAUTION: Special care must be taken when aligning the
running belt. Turn off the treadmill while adjusting or
working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing
and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers
and any other object clear of the belt and rollers,
especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The
treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes
caught in the belt or rollers.
To check the alignment of the running belt:
1. The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure
that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is
placed on an uneven surface, adjusting the rear
feet can help, but will not compensate for
extremely uneven surfaces.
2. Turn the unit on.
3. Stand beside the treadmill and touch QuickStart.
The running belt starts automatically after a
3-second countdown appears on the display.
4. After the running belt starts, increase the speed to
3 mph (5 kph).
CAUTION: If you hear any chafing or the running belt
appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt
immediately by pressing the STOP switch.
NEVER add any foreign substance to the underside of
the running belt. The belt is designed to move over the
treadmill deck without any additional lubrication. If
you notice excessive friction or wear in the running
belt, contact Precor Customer Support.
