TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM

Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform peri-

odically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the

 

walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over after every 6,000 to

 

7,500 miles. Follow the instructions below to turn over the walking platform.

proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks on the Walking

180

Belt exactly 60” apart, as shown in the drawing. Tighten both

 

 

Roller Adjustment Bolts (16, shown in the drawing above)

 

 

 

until the two chalk marks move apart an additional 3/16” to

 

 

 

1/4”. As you tighten the Roller Adjustment Bolts, the Front

 

60”

 

Roller (180) will move. If the Front Roller stops moving, do

 

 

not further tighten the Roller Adjustment Bolts; contact

 

 

 

your distributor. Make sure to keep the Walking Belt cen-

 

 

 

tered.
