TRACKING (CENTERING) AN EXISTING OR NEW STRIDING BELT

1.Locate the two access holes to the BELT TENSIONING BOLTS on each of the rear roller guards. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust tracking and centering of the striding belt without removing the guards.

2.Stand on the sides of the treadmill and straddle the belt. Enter the MANUAL Workout and set the belt speed to run at 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).

3. If the striding belt has moved to the right, turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn clockwise with the provided 6MM Hex Key Wrench, and then turn the left tension bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to center of roller.

4.If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to

tart striding belt tracking back to center of roller. Repeat adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for several minutes to observe if tracking remains stabilized.

Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn the belt does not track properly, contact Customer Support Services.

TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT

Under normal usage, the treadmill striding belt may stretch slightly. If the belt starts to slip during use, take the steps listed below to correct the tension.

1.Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill.

2.Turn the belt tensioning bolts clockwise a quarter-turn per side to tension the belt. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter-turns per side).

3.Set the treadmill at 2.0-mph (3.2 kph) and get on to make sure the belt no longer slips. Also, check the striding belt’s tracking. If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt.

Note: Do not overtighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Overtightening of bolts may over stretch and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.
