How to Position and Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill
Follow all safety instructions in Section 1.1 and move the treadmill to the location in
which it will be used. See Section 4 for the dimensions of the product footprint (as-
sembled dimensions).
Safety Clearances
The following information is supplied as regional reference data regarding safety
clearances around the exterior of the treadmill.
• EU: The European EN957 Safety Standard requires a 2 meter (6.5 feet) minimum
from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface.
• U.S. and other regions: The ASTM International (ASTM ) F2115 - 05 Standard rec-
ommends the minimum dimensions to be 0.5 meter (1.64 feet) on each side of
the treadmill and 1 meter (3 feet) behind the rearward most portion of the usable
moving surface or 2 meters (6.5 feet) furthest rearward obstruction to emergency
egress from the treadmill, defined as handlebar uprights occupying the space 0.5
meter or less above the foot siderails of the treadmill.
• After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If there is even a slight
rocking motion or the unit is not stable, determine which stabilizing leg is not resting
on the floor. To adjust, loosen the JAM NUT (A), and turn the STABILIZING LEG (B) until
the rocking motion ceases, and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor. Retighten
the JAM NUT.
Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for proper
operation. An unbalanced unit may cause striding belt misalignment. A bubble level is
recommended to ensure proper leveling.
Power Switch
Located on the front panel at the base of the treadmill, the ON/OFF switch has two positions: "I" (one) for ON and "0"
(zero) for OFF
Centering the Belt
After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the striding belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the
power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical Power Requirements at the beginning of this section for details.
Then turn the treadmill ON.
Have one person stand on the platforms on either side of the treadmill frame. Do not stand on the belt at this time.
Press the Quick Start key, and increase the speed to 4.0 miles per hour (MPH), or 6.4 kilometers per hour (KPH), using
the Speed up arrow.
If the striding belt moves to the right while it is running, have a second person turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn
clockwise, and then turn the left tension bolt (C) a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. See the illustration below. This action
sets the striding belt tracking back to center of the roller.
If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension
bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt tracking back to center of roller.
If the striding belt has moved as far as, or to the edge of the roller (either right or left side), it must be re-centered per
the above procedure.
Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears centered. Allow the belt to
continue running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is stabilized.
Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If,
after one full turn, the belt does not track properly, contact Life Fitness Customer
Support Services.
Note: See Section 6.1 Preventive Maintenance Tips for optimum operating posi-
tion of the striding belt.
