LifeSpan TR-100SL manual Belt Tensioning, Aligning the Running Belt

Page 20

Belt Tensioning

If the belt begins to slip during use, it will need to be tensioned. Your treadmill is equipped with tension bolts that are accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt, start the treadmill and set the speed to 3 MPH. Using a 6 mm Allen Wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn, alternating back and forth until the belt slipping stops. After you adjust each side 1/2 turn, test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt still slips repeat this step and test again.

If you turn one side more than the other, the belt will start to drift to the side of the treadmill and need to be aligned.

Aligning the Running Belt

Ensure the running belt is centered on your treadmill at all times. Running style and a non- level surface are two instances that may cause the belt to drift off center. Minor adjustments to the two bolts at the rear of the treadmill are necessary when the belt has drifted off center.

1.Press "START" to begin running belt, then increase the treadmillís speed to 3MPH.

2.Stand at the rear of the treadmill to determine which direction the belt is drifting.

3.If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt one-quarter turn clockwise and the right adjustment bolt one-quarter turn counter-clockwise. (See FIG.C)

4.If the belt drifts to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt one-quarter turn counter-clock wise and the right adjustment bolt one-quarter turn clockwise. (See FIG.D)

5.Observe the tracking of the belt for about two minutes. Repeat step 3, 4 and 5 as needed.
