Life Fitness T9i operation manual Tensioning AN Existing Striding Belt

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT

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

NOTE: DO NOT RUN OR WALK ON BELT.

2Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with feet on the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does not slip, the tension is correct.

3Using the STOP button, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.

4Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quar- ter turns) per side when adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.

5Enter the MANUAL workout and operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) check to insure proper tracking (See Section 6.5 “How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt”). If the strid- ing 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.
