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.

Belt is too far to the right side

Belt is too far to the left side

 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.
