Walking belt misalignment Rear belt guides Belts should ride on top of triangular black belt
guides at rear of treadles.
Tracking adjustment Belts are not required to be perfectly centered
and are typically farther out in the rear than they
are in the front. This may vary depending on
user’s stride. If belt is tracking to one side far
enough to cause rubbing of belt follow belt align-
ment procedure in Owner’s Manual.
Speed dependent grinding or
scraping noise in all modes
Belt alignment Check walking belt alignment. Belt contact with
metal guides under treadle can make loud grind-
ing sound. If belts are misaligned follow belt
alignment procedure in Owner’s Manual.
