Centering the Belt

After installing and levelling the treadmill, check the belt to ensure that it is tracking properly. First, plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. See Electrical Requirements at the begin- ning of this section for details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.

Have one person stand on the platforms on either side of the treadmill belt. Do not stand on the belt at this time. Press the QUICK START key, and increase the speed to 4.0 miles per hour (MPH), or 6.4 kilometers per hour (KPH), using the SPEED UP arrow.

If the striding belt moves to the right while it is running, have a second person turn the right ten- sion bolt a quarter-turn clockwise, and then turn the left tension bolt (A) a quarter-turn counter- clockwise. See the illustration below. This action sets the striding belt tracking back to center of the roller.

If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start the striding belt tracking back to center of roller.

Repeat these adjustments until striding belt appears centered. Allow the belt to continue running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is stabilized.

NOTE: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If, after one full turn, the belt does not track properly, contact Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in Section 6.7, titled How to Obtain Product Service.
