Adjusting the Elevation Tube
The elevation tube is set at the factory at the lowest setting. To receive optimal
performance, reposition the height adjustment pin by taking the following steps:
1. Determine the proper Elevation Tube setting. (Table 1) The elevation tube
provides six different settings. Each setting provides a different level of
resistance needed (dependent on your weight) to maintain an efficient
workout. To get optimal performance from your treadmill, refer to settings
shown in Table 1.
To determine if you have set the proper elevation for your height, stand on
the running belt with your hands on the handrail for balance. Your feet
should slide slowly and easily away toward the rear of the treadmill.
Continue walking and when you are comfortable and well-balanced on the
treadmill, release your grip on the handrail. The running belt should
continue to move freely while you maintain your momentum. If the running
belt slows, stops, or becomes more difficult to walk on, consider moving
the elevation tube up one more setting.
Note: Table 1 is an approximation and elevation tube settings may vary
slightly depending on differences in weight and the amount of lubrication
between the running belt and deck. Over time and extended use, you may
need to readjust the elevation tube setting. Remember that you want to be
able to maintain your momentum on the running belt without having to
push off from the handrail. A lubrication kit, available from your local
dealer, can be used as the equipment ages or friction (between the running
belt and deck) increases. If you do lubricate the deck, you may need to
change the elevation setting. See
