Adjusting the Tension of the Running Belt

Proper belt adjustment 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).

Important: For your safety, turn OFF the treadmill when adjusting the running belt or working near the rear roller.

To adjust belt tension, use the rear belt adjustment bolts (see Photo 7). Simply alternate turning each (left and right) bolt clockwise in 1/4 turn increments until there is no slippage in the belt when you are jogging.

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