Running Belt Alignment; Adjusting The Running Belt - True ES900 Owner's Manual

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.
The treadmill has adjustable rear feet. Make sure that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is placed on an
uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.
CAUTION: 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.
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.

Adjusting The Running Belt:

If you are unsure how to adjust the running belt, call the TRUE Service Department
CAUTION: 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.
Locate the right belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. To determine left and right, stand at the
rear of the treadmill and face the display. Make all belt adjustments on the right rear corner bolt using a socket
wrench.
If the belt is off center to the LEFT, turn the adjusting bolt ¼ turn counterclockwise, which moves the
running belt to the right.
If the belt tracks off center to the RIGHT, turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise; this moves the belt to the left.
Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than ¼ turn at a time. Overtightening the bolt can damage
the treadmill.
Recheck the alignment of the running belt by repeating the steps found above in RUNNING BELT
ALIGNMENT.
