HOW TO STABILIZE THE LIFE FITNESS TREADMILL
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, turn the STABILIZING LEG (A) until the
rocking motion ceases and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor.
NOTE: If excessive vibration occurs during use, adjust the height of the
levelers closer to the uprights. Do not adjust the height of the levelers further
from the uprights.
NOTE: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly adjusted for
proper operation.
CHECKING THE BELT
After the treadmill has been installed and stabilized, the belt must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, ensure
the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet, as described in the Electrical Requirements section. Then turn the
treadmill on. Stand on the side rails of the treadmill and straddle the belt. To start the belt, press the START/ENTER key,
then press the SPEED UP ARROW key until the treadmill reaches 4.0 MPH. If the striding belt appears off-center, see
the instructions on the How to Center the Striding Belt page in the Service and Technical Data section.
