6.If the belt needs additional alignment, repeat steps 1 through 5 of this procedure until the belt is properly aligned.

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 (each one at opposite sides of the rear roller). See Diagrams 15 and 16. 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 mph 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.
