WARNING! Do not over-tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!

Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjust- ment for tension and centering. Your new treadmill comes pre- adjusted from the factory for tension and centering. Please fol- low the procedures below if the belt shifts to the left or right while walking:

WALKING BELT IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT (Diagram 1)

First, turn treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provided, turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise direction. Next, run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself by 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 SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT (Diagram 2) First, turn the treadmill on to run at 1 mph. Using the hex key provid- ed, turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt ¼ turn in the clockwise direction. Next, run the treadmill at 2.5 mph.
