1. Press "START" to start the walking belt, then increase the treadmill speed to 3 mph.
2. Stand at the rear of the treadmill to see which direction the belt moves.
3. If the belt moves to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and the right adjustment
bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
4. If the belt moves to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise and the right
adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise.
5. Monitor the path of the belt for approximately 2 minutes. Do steps 3, 4 and 5 again as necessary.
