Leveling The Treadmill - Precor TRM 211 Quick Start Card

Leveling the Treadmill

Important: Before using the treadmill, make sure it is completely level and that it sits
evenly on the floor.
To ensure that the treadmill is completely level, you should check it in two
directions:
 from side to side (across the belt)
 from front to back (along the belt)
The treadmill should be leveled to center or zero, depending on the type of level
you use. If adjustments are needed, adjust one rear foot at a time.
To check the level of the treadmill:
1. Place the level across the treadmill belt as shown in the following figure. Make
sure the level reads at center or zero, depending on the type of level you use.
Figure 15: Level position across belt
2. Place the level along the belt front to back as shown in the following figure.
Make sure the level reads at center or zero, depending on the type of level you
use.
