BELT ADJUSTMENT:
ALL BELT ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED MAINTENANCE, AND ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE END USER. Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has been adjusted properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could cause the belt to shift off center resulting in the belt rubbing on the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly causing damage to the equipment. To adjust the belt back to it’s proper position please follow the directions below:
•Walking belt has shifted to the left: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.
•Walking belt has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping" instructions.
•Walking belt is slipping: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn both the left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the equal amounts , 1/2 turn in the clockwise direction.
