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 6
MM
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.
DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT
While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt.
Place your feet on the side rails before starting the treadmill. Start
walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move. Never start
the treadmill at a fast running speed and attempt to jump on!
