Keep clear of the movement path of the walking deck.
47. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop gradually. Hold onto the walking deck until approximately 2/3 of the movement down. Lower the weight with
your legs. Be aware that the walking deck can possibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement.
If you used spray lubricant, wait 5 minutes before turning on power to the machine to allow the aerosol to dissipate.
48. Attach the power cord and turn on the Treadmill by flipping the power switch to ON.
49. Start the belt at the slowest speed and stand well behind the machine. Let the belt operate for approximately 15 seconds. Notice if the Walking
Belt needs to be adjusted so it runs centered on the machine.
Be sure not to touch the walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders, children and pets away from the machine you are
servicing at all times.
50. If the Walking Belt needs to be adjusted, use a 6mm hex wrench on the side the belt should move away from and rotate the Adjustment Bolt a
1/4 turn clock-wise.
51. Allow the Walking Belt to adjust to the new tension by allowing it to run a
couple seconds.
52. Repeat steps 50 and 51 until the Walking Belt is centered.
53. Switch off your machine.
54. Take care to clean up any excess lubricant from the deck.
To decrease the possibility of slipping, be sure the deck area is free
from grease or oil. Clean off any excess oil from the machine surfaces.
55. Final Inspection
Inspect your machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components are properly assembled.
Do not use until the machine has been fully assembled and inspected for correct performance in accordance with the Owner's
Manual.
