Leveling the Machine
The machine needs to be leveled if your work-
out area is uneven. To adjust:
1. Place the machine in your workout area.
2. Adjust the levelers until they all contact the
floor.
Do not adjust the levelers to such a
height that they detach or unscrew
from the machine. Injury to you or
damage to the machine can occur.
3. Adjust until the machine is level.
Make sure the machine is level and stable
before you exercise.
Treadmill Belt
Your treadmill comes equipped with a durable, high quality walking belt designed to provide many hours of reliable ser-
vice. The walking belt on a treadmill that has not been operated for a length of time, either in factory packaging or after
assembly, can exhibit a “thumping” noise when started. This is due to the belt taking on the curve of the front and rear roll
-
ers. This is a common occurrence and does not indicate a problem with your machine. After the treadmill has been used
for a short period of time the thumping noise will discontinue. The amount of time will vary depending on the temperature
and humidity of the environment where the treadmill is placed.
