New Balance 1800 Taking Care of Your Treadmill, Walking Belt Tension, Walking Belt Centering

TAKING CARE OF YOUR TREADMILL

Note: The Treadmill MUST be placed on a level surface only. If the Treadmill is not level, the belt will continuously slip to the low side of the Treadmill.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE Treadmill if it is not on a level surface.

WALKING BELT TENSION

Walking Belts tend to stretch slightly with use. The Walking Belt may occasionally need to be tight- ened. If the Walking Belt is too loose, you may find the Belt stops or hesitates while running or walking. However, it is very important not to over-tighten the Walking Belt as it will damage the Motor, Rollers, and Electrical Components.

WALKING BELT CENTERING

The Walking Belt may occasionally need to be centered. Your Treadmill has sight indexes that aid in keeping the Walking Belt centered.

First, be sure the Belt is tensioned properly. Then, run the Treadmill at 4 mph. It is easiest to use only the Left Adjustment Knob in making Walking Belt centering adjustments.

When properly tensioned, you should be able to lift the side of the Belt about 2-3 inches, or you should be able to fit three fingers under the edge of the Belt. This should be done on either side of the Belt in the center of the Deck.

If the Walking Belt has moved to the right, turn the Left Adjustment Knob a quarter turn to the left. Let the Treadmill run about 30 seconds, and if the Belt does not move, repeat.

To tighten the Belt, with the Treadmill off, turn the Left Knob at the end of the Treadmill one full turn clockwise, and then turn the Right Knob one full turn clockwise. Turn on the Treadmill and check the tension. If it needs additional tension, continue to tighten one turn at a time until the Belt is no longer slipping.

Be sure to adjust both sides equally to insure correct Belt alignment.

If the Walking Belt has moved to the left, turn the Left Adjustment Knob a quarter turn to the right. Let the Treadmill run about 30 seconds, and if the Belt does not move, repeat.
