PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1mm
2
(14-gauge) cord that is no longer
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD
. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each side of the walking belt
8–10cm (3–4 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful
to keep the walking belt centred. Plug in the power
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tight-
ened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, call our Customer Service Department, toll-free.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key and

If the walking belt has
shifted to the left,
use the allen wrench to turn the left
rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn;
if the walking belt
has shifted to the right,
turn the bolt counterclockwise
1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking
belt. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and walk on
the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is centred.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove the
key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
. Using the allen
wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn.
When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should
be able to lift each side of the walking belt 8–10cm (3–4
in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walk-
ing belt centred. Plug in the power cord, insert the key,
and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until
the walking belt is properly tightened.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPOR-
TANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such
substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed.
If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and a
earthing plug.
Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your
outlet. Refer to drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power
cord into the socket on the treadmill. Next, lift the tab on the
ferrite box and clamp the ferrite box around the power cord.
Fasten the included plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and
cut off the excess plastic tie. The plastic tie will prevent the fer-
rite box from sliding along the power cord. Refer to drawing 2.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and or-
dinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-
equipped outlets.
Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
manufacturer-recommended power cord.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an in-
creased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
