A. With the treadmill running at 5 mph (8 kph) observe the running belt. If the belt tracks
off center to the right or left the deck will become exposed. Use a 3/4” socket wrench
to tighten the rear roller bolt on the side of the treadmill toward which the belt is
moving. For example: If the belt moves to the right and the deck becomes exposed on
the left, tighten the bolt on the right side of the frame, tighten about 1/2 of a turn
(clockwise) and wait 30 seconds. If the belt does not move back to the center of the
treadmill, make another adjustment to the
same bolt . Once the running belt has been
adjusted closer to the center of the treadmill use about 1/4 of a turn until the belt has
been stabilized.
B. After the belt has been centered, check the belt tension again. Make sure the running belt
tension is tight enough so that the belt does not slip or hesitate when stepped on. Walk
on the treadmill at 3.5-4 mph (5.6-6.4 kph) and every 4th to 5th step throw your weight
into your step to feel if the belt is slipping. If the belt does slip, use a wrench to equally
tighten
both rear roller adjustment bolts 1/2 of a turn (clockwise). Adjust the belt until no
further slipping is felt. If the running belt continues to slip the drive belt could be loose.
Checking the Belt and Deck Surfaces — The running belt and deck should be checked
periodically for any excessive wear. In an effort to make sure that the running belt operates
properly, visually inspect the belt often to make sure that there are no tears or fraying in the
belt material.
Inspect the edges of the belt as described below. NOTE: It is necessary to remove the motor
cover and plastic side panels.
