5.Press STOP or SPEED until the running belt comes to a complete stop.

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.

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.
