OW TO POSITION AND STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
Following all safety instructions in Section 1.1, move the treadmill to the location in which it will be
used. See Section 7, titled Specifications, for the dimensions of the footprint. Allow a distance of
eight inches, or 21 centimeters, between the treadmill and other units on either side. Allow a dis-
tance of six feet, or two meters, from the rear of the treadmill to any object or surface.
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 rock-
ing 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 opera-
tion. 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.

ENTERING THE BELT
After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First,
plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical 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 belt. 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 (A) a quarter-
turn counter-clockwise. See the illustration. 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 track-
ing back to center of roller.
Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears cen-
tered. 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 Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in
Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product Service.
