How to maintain the momentum EV7000 treadmill:
Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper
maintenance could cause damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and void the WARRANTY.
Important: Never use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids
away and keep it out of direct sunlight.
Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
BELT ADJUSTMENT:
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has
been adjusted properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could
cause the belt to shift off center resulting in the belt rubbing with the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly
causing damage. To adjust the belt back to it’s proper position please follow the directions below:
Belt has shifted to the left : First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge
protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the
center. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt
tension once you have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the
“Walking belt slipping” instructions.
Belt has shifted to the right : First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge
protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the
center. Repeat the above procedure until the belt is centered. It may be necessary to set belt tension once you
have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the “Belt slipping”
instructions.
Belt is slipping : First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn both the
left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the same distance, usually a 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the
power cord back into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should now walk on the belt to
determine if the belt is still slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the belt is not slipping. The tension should
be just tight enough not to slip.
WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!
Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.
