Belt and Bed - Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed. Performance is
maximized when the bed is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper
towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also
reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to
extend belt and bed life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water
solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow the belt
to dry before using.
Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess
off with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.
General Cleaning - dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the run-
ning belt. On a monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once
a year, you should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumu-
late. UNPlUg POWER CORd bEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Running belt Tension Adjustment - Adjustment must be made from the rear roller. The
adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails in the end caps, as noted in dia-
gram below.
Tighten the rear roller bolts only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both
tread-belt tension adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper
tension by walking on the belt at a low speed, making sure the belt does not slip. Keep
tensioning the bolts until the belt stops slipping.
• If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem may be a
loose Motor drive belt under the front cover.
dO NOT OVERTIgHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure.
