Checking the Alignment of the Running Belt
Proper 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 (refer to Obtaining Service).
Caution: Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing
on it.
To check the alignment of the running belt:
1. Make sure that the running surface is as level as possible.
If necessary, adjust the rear feet to level the treadmill
(refer to Leveling the Unit).
Note: Adjusting the rear feet cannot compensate for
extremely uneven surfaces. If you cannot make the
running surface level and stable, move the treadmill.
2. Turn the treadmill on.
3. Standing beside the treadmill (not on it), press GO or
Quick Start on the console.
4. If necessary, enter the safety code by pressing the
number keys in sequence. The running belt starts
automatically after a 3-second countdown appears on the
console.
5. Press the SPEED UP key until the console shows a speed
of 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 red STOP button. Contact Precor Customer
Support.
6. Observe the belt from the rear of the treadmill for a few
minutes. The belt should remain centered along the
running bed. If it drifts off center, adjust it (refer to
Adjusting the Running Belt).
Important: Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear
or fray, which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.
7. Press the red STOP button to stop the belt.
8. Turn the treadmill off.
