How To... Adjust Striding Belt Tracking
Tools Required: Hex key wrench set
IMPORTANT: It is CRITICAL that the treadmill
be correctly leveled prior to any tracking
adjustments. An unstable unit can cause
Striding Belt misalignment. To level and
stabilize the unit, refer to instructions on
“How To…Replace The Leveler Assembly” in
this section.
1.
After the treadmill has been installed and
leveled, the belt must be checked to confirm
proper tracking. First, plug the power cord
into an appropriate outlet and turn the treadmill
ON.
2.
Press the GO “Walk” System Quick Start button
then increase speed to 4.0 mph (6.4 kph) motor
speed using the UP Arrow.
3.
If the STRIDING BELT has moved to the right ,
turn the right TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn clockwise
and the left TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise to start the STRIDING BELT tracking
back to the center of the REAR ROLLER. If the
STRIDING BELT
has moved to the left , turn the
left TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn clockwise and the
right TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn counterclockwise to start the STRIDING BELT
tracking back to the center of the
REAR ROLLER.
4.
Repeat this adjustment until the striding belt appears centered. The belt should be equal distance (B) on both
sides of the rear roller.
5.
Allow the unit to operate for several minutes to see that the belt remains centered.
6.
T5/T5I with serial numbers above 1699620xx and all T7I treadmills have an adjustable front roller. This has one
TENSION BOLT on the right side. Only adjust the TENSION BOLT if the belt can not be aligned by the rear
roller. If the belt is skewed to the right, turn the TENSION BOLT ¼ turn clockwise to move the belt to the left.
Turn the TENSION BOLT ¼ turn counterclockwise to move belt to the right.
NOTE: During the adjustment above, DO NOT exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either
direction.
