10. Remove the Belt Tensioning Screws and Brackets using a 5 mm hex wrench.
NOTE:
Be sure to record how many turns it takes to remove the screws to assist with
reassembly.
Also note the orientation of the Brackets. The larger Bracket is to the outside of the
machine.
11. Remove the Front Roller by sliding it out of the belt.
12. Installation is the reverse procedure. Be sure to tension belts properly after reas-
sembly following the procedures in the Owner’s manual.
Walking Belt Adjustment
The walking belts need to be adjusted if they are out of center enough to cause a rub-
bing or scraping sound. Adjustments can be made at the Front Roller of each Treadle
(Item A).
Belt Alignment Check
– Stand adjacent to the unit and set the speed to 1.5 MPH. The
alignment adjustment bolts are on the front end of each Roller. If the belt is tracking too
far to the right, use a 5 mm Hex Key to turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise on that
belt in full turn increments. If the belt tracks too far to the left, do the same thing
on the left adjustment bolt.
Note:
Do not turn the bolts counterclockwise when you adjust the belt align-
ment.
Belt Tension Adjustment
– Check the belt tension only when the machine is un-
plugged. From the belt’s midpoint, a correctly tensioned belt should only have an inch
of give. To check, pull the belt upward at it’s midpoint and measure the distance to the
deck. If the distance is more than an inch, the belt is loose. To tighten, turn both bolts
clockwise one-half a turn and check tension again. Repeat this step if necessary. Be
sure not to over-tighten the belts.
Note:
Bolts are turned counterclockwise equally to decrease belt tension.
13. Final Inspection
Inspect your machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components are
properly assembled.
Do not use until the machine has been fully assembled and inspected for
correct performance in accordance with the Owner’s Manual.
