TENSIONING THE BELT
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be
tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal
and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension both the rear roller bolts with the
appropriate size allen wrench, turning it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Try the treadmill again to
check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a
time. the belt tension is set properly when the running belt is 1/4 of an inch from the deck.
CENTERING THE BELT
If the running belt is too far to the right side, use the supplied Allen wrench to turn the right tension
bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side, turn the left tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time
until the belt remains centered during use.
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO THE LEFT SIDE:
•
Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten).
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE:
•
Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten).
