j. Securely tighten the T-knob by turning it clockwise. Alternately
tighten the T-knobs until both are tight against the side rails.
5. Adjust the incline of the treadmill and set the running belt to the proper
resistance level by following the steps in
Adjusting the Elevation Tube
.
Adjusting the Elevation Tube
The height of the elevation tube is adjusted at the factory. The height adjust-
ment pin is placed at the middle setting (Setting #3—See Table 1). To receive
optimal performance, you may need to reposition the height adjustment pin by
taking the following steps:
1. Determine the proper Elevation Tube Setting. (Table 1) The elevation
tube has 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 the
settings shown in Table 1.
To determine if you have set the proper elevation for your height and
weight, stand on the running belt with your hands on the handrails for
balance. Your feet should slide slowly and easily away toward the rear of
the treadmill. Begin walking. When you are comfortable and well-balanced
on the treadmill, release your grip on the handrails. 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
increasing the incline of the treadmill by moving the elevation tube up one
more setting.

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 or add lubricant between the running
belt and deck—this is normal and does not require a service call.
Remember that you want to be able to maintain your momentum on the
running belt without having to push off from the handrails. A lubrication
kit, available from an authorized Precor dealer, can be used as friction
(between the running belt and deck) increases. If you do lubricate the
deck, you may need to change the elevation settings. See
Obtaining
Service
to learn how to contact the authorized Precor dealer nearest you.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, the
locking pins should be
inserted and secured during
these steps.
