TREADMILL BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:

The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt adjustment may be necessary.

The treadmill is designed to keep the treadmill belt reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of use, the treadmill belt should have a tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.

TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:

A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the left side only. Set belt speed at

approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjustment can make a dramatic difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck.

The belt may require periodic tracking

adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some

users will affect tracking differently. Expect

to make adjustments as required to center the treadmill belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.

ATTENTION:

DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SPIRIT WARRANTY.
