How to Adjust and Tension the Walking Belt on the Treadmill Desk
Do not move the Treadmill Desk or place hands under the Treadmill Desk while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!
Tools Required: 6mm Hex Key Wrench
Belt Tensioning Bolts
The Treadmill Desk has access holes in the rear roller guards, which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These tension-
ing bolts make it possible to adjust tracking and centering of the walking belt (A) without removing the guards.
Note:
It is extremely important that the Treadmill Desk be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unsta-
ble unit may cause walking belt misalignment. See
How to Stabilize the Treadmill Desk
in Section 3 prior to attempting
any rear roller adjustments.
Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) PIVOT POINT (C). Each adjustment made to one side
of the Roller must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the Roller to maintain an ideal
belt tension at the pivot point.
Tensioning an Existing Walking Belt
Under normal usage, the walking belt may stretch slightly. If the belt starts to slip during use, take the steps listed be-
low to correct the tension.
1. Using the STOP key, stop the Treadmill Desk.
2. Turn the belt tensioning bolts clockwise a quarter-turn per side to tension the belt. Do not exceed one full turn
(four quarter-turns per side).
3. Set the Treadmill Desk at 2.0-mph (3.2 kph) and get on to make sure the belt no longer slips. Also, check the walk-
ing belt’s tracking. If the walking belt drifts to the left or right see
Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Walking
Belt.
Note:
Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch
and damage the walking belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.
