The accuracy of a reading may be affected when outside interference is present. Contact Heart rate (CHR): The CHR system lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a strap.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit.
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.

This belt provides additional comfort and cushioning.
