Spirit XT685 owner manual Treadbelt Tracking Adjustment, Setting TREAD-BELT Tracking

Treadbelt Tracking Adjustment

The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.

SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING

An 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference which may not be apparent right away. If the belt

is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) 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.

If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise.The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use

and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread-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 Fitness warranty.
