CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT:
When you run, you may step harder with one foot than with another. The severity of the deflection
depends on the amount of force that one foot exerts in the relation to the other. The belt will often
return to the center of the deck if weight distribution becomes balanced or nobody is on the run-
ning belt. If the running belt remains consistently off-center, you will need to center the running belt
manually.
A) Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press speed up bottom until speed reached
16kph.
B) Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the deck.
a. If toward the left side of the deck
Using the inner hexagon spanner, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/8 turn in a clockwise direction and
the right adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/8.
b. If toward the right side of the deck
Using the inner hexagon spanner, turn the right adjustment bolt 1/8 turn in a clockwise direction and
the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/8.
c. If the belt is still not centered, repeat the above steps until the running belt is on center.
C) after the belt is centered, increase the speed to 16kph and verify that it is running smoothly.
Repeat the above steps if it is necessary. If the above procedure is unsuccessful in resolving the
off-center, you may need to increase the belt tension.
