TENSIONINGTHE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can move
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving during tensioning.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, turn the treadmill off and tension both the rear roller bolts using the supplied allen wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.
Belt is too far to the right side |
Belt is too far to the left side |
CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can move
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than 1/2 mph while centering. Keep fingers, hair and clothing away from belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right adjustment bolt
