Running Belt Alignment - True PS800 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 5: CARE & MAINTENANCE

RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT:

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 the TRUE Service Department.
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.
• If you hear any chafing or the running belt appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt
immediately by pressing the STOP key. Contact the TRUE Service Department. Walk around to the rear
of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes. The belt should be centered on the running deck. If the
belt drifts off center, you must make adjustments.
• For your safety, use the power switch to turn off the treadmill before making any adjustments. Do not
adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
• Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time. Over tightening the bolt can damage the
treadmill. If you are unsure how to adjust the running belt, call the TRUE Service Department.
Important:
Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear or fray, which may not be covered under the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To
stop the running belt, press the STOP key. Turn the treadmill off.

RIGHT adjustment bolt clockwise ¼ turn.

the unit.
