Adjusting the Tension of the Belt

Proper belt tension is important for a smooth, steady run. If your physical condition permits, test the belt tension by jogging at 6 mph. If the belt tension is too loose, you will feel a pause in the belt with each footplant (step).

To adjust the running belt tension, take the following steps:

1.Make sure that the treadmill is OFF. If the treadmill is ON, switch it to OFF. Wait for the running belt to come to a complete stop.

2.Standing behind the treadmill use the rear belt adjustment bolts (refer to Diagram 15 on the previous page). Simply turn each bolt clockwise 1/4 turn to adjust the tension of the belt.

3.Turn ON the treadmill, answer the start-up prompts, then increase the speed of the running belt to 6 miles per hour by pressing the SPEED key.

4.Jog on the running belt for 1 minute or more. If you feel a pause in the belt with each footplant (step), you need to continue to adjust the belt tension.

5.Press STOP to stop the running belt.

6.Continue with steps 1 through 5 until the belt tension has been properly adjusted and you no longer feel the pause in the belt with each footplant.

Important: Do not turn the adjusting bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Overtightening the bolts can damage or cause premature failure of the precision bearings in the front and rear rollers.
