3. Press, “Start” to begin.
# The treadmill running belt will begin moving and will automatically begin the auto-calibration sequence to properly set and store the speed values.
# Upon successful calibration there will be four beeps and it will automatically exit Engineering Mode and will return you to the original screen.

Eng3 – Software Setup

NOTE: Using incorrect software settings will result in erratic speeds, incorrect button function, etc.

1. While in the Engineering Mode Menu, press Speed “+” or “-” until Eng3 appears in the display.
2. Press, “Enter” to select.
3. Press, “Enter” to change software version. Each time the select button is pressed, a number will change in the upper right hand corner (ex. 1-10). This number represents the number of programs for that software version. The settings are as  follows:

1-10 = T64
1-8 = T63
1-6 = T62
1-4 = T61

You can only change software version for the T61-T64 Models.

4. Press, “Start” to change the distance parameters between miles and kilometers. This number is shown in the upper left hand corner of the display. 0 represents miles and 1 represents kilometers.

1. While in the Engineering Mode Menu, press Speed “+” or “-” until Eng4 appears in the display.
2. Press, “Enter” to select.
3. Press Speed “+” or “-” buttons to view accumulated time/distance. This includes time spent at each speed in hours as well as distance in miles. This number is shown in the upper right hand corner of the display.

Tensioning the Running Belt

If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. Make sure that the unit is turned off and not running. To eliminate this slipping, tension both the rear roller bolts with the appropriate sized Allen wrench, turning both the left and right bolt 1/4 TURN as shown below. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.

Aligining the Running Belt

1) If the running belt moves rapidly to one side when performing the next step, press the Stop button immediately.
# Turn on the treadmill. With the treadmill speed between 6-8 mph, stand behind the treadmill and watch the movement of the running belt. As you watch the running belt, make sure that the belt runs without moving from one side to the other and that the belt is centered between the side rails.
2) If the running belt is not tracking properly, follow the procedures below:
# If the running belt tracks to the left, turn the left roller bolt clockwise 1⁄4 of a turn, keeping the belt tension in mind. Over-tightening the running belt may cause damage to the running belt and roller bearings.
# If the running belt tracks to the right, turn the right roller bolt clockwise 1⁄4 of a turn, keeping the belt tension in mind. Over-tightening the running belt may cause damage to the running belt and roller bearings.
