CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment. Before operating the
treadmill, make sure the belt is centered and remains
centered to maintain smooth operation.
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than 1/2 mph while
centering. Keep fingers, hair and clothing away from
belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right
adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 TURN at a time (using
the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt alignment.
Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more adjustment
is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains
centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side:
With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn the right
adjustment bolt counter-clockwise 1/4 TURN at a time
(using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt
alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more
adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the
belt remains centered during use.

TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION:
Running belt should NOT be moving during
tensioning. Over-tightening the running belt can
cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never over-tighten 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, turn the treadmill off and tension
BOTH THE REAR ROLLER BOLTS using the supplied Allen
wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the right as shown.
Turn the treadmill on and check for slipping. Repeat if
necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than
1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the
slipping sensation is gone.
