Life Fitness Treadmill manual Tensioning AN Existing Striding Belt

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT

1Enter the Manual workout and run the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 MPH (8.0 KPH).

NOTE: DO NOT RUN ON BELT.

2Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and attempt to stall the striding belt. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does not slip, the tension is correct.

3Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clock- wise for each side. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side.

4Enter the MANUAL workout and run the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) check to insure proper tracking. If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see the topic titled Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt on the previous page.

Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.
