LEVELING
Your Treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed
your Treadmill where you intend to use it, raise or lower one or both of the
adjustable levelers located on the back of the Treadmill frame. A carpenter’s
level is recommended. If your Treadmill is not level, the running belt may
not track properly. Once you have leveled your Treadmill, lock the levelers
in place by tightening the nuts against the frame.
