the belt alignment marks (D) (see the drawing below)
on the foot rails. If necessary, follow the instructions

the foot rails, the walking belt may become
damaged.

UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD.
If the walking belt has
shifted to the left,
use the hex key to turn the
left idler roller screw clockwise 1/2 of a turn;
if the
walking belt has shifted to the right,
turn the
left idler roller screw counterclockwise 1/2 of a
turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt.
Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and
walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat
until the walking belt is centered.

Using the hex key, turn both idler roller
screws clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walk-
ing belt is correctly tightened, you should be able
to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to
7 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep
the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power
