The Treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed the Treadmill
where you intend to use it, raise or lower one or both of the adjustable levelers

your Treadmill is not level, the running belt may not track properly. Once you have
leveled the Treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts against the
frame.
