ADJUSTING THE TREADMILL BELT
WARNING:
If the belt has become so displaced that it is rubbing along one of the
foot rails, this will cause friction and defects to the treadmill belt. Damage caused by
failure to make adjustments to the belt or insufficient adjustments will not be covered
by the warranty under any circumstances.
To achieve as long a service life as possible, the belt should always be kept running
straight along the center of the running deck. Therefore, it is important to examine
the belt before each training session to see if it is straight and running in the middle
of the deck or if it has changed position.
Possible reasons for the treadmill deck changing position are:
• The ground on which the treadmill is standing is either uneven or at an incline.
• Personal running style (e.g. distribution of weight to one side, in- or out-turned feet
etc.)
TO ADJUST THE TREADMILL BELT
1. Start up the treadmill belt and let it
run at a constant speed of 2.5 mi/hr.
NOTE:
The running direction of the belt
will be adjusted with just a 1/8 turn of the
adjustment screw. Therefore, only adjust the
screws a little at a time.
If the Belt Is Running Towards the Left:
1. Use a 6mm hex key to turn the left
adjustment screw, located at the back end of
the belt, by 1/8 turn clockwise and the right
adjustment screw 1/8 turn counter-clockwise.
2. Wait for a short time, as results will not
immediately be apparent.
3. If the belt is now running in the middle of the deck, the adjustment was successful.
If the belt is still off-center, repeat the steps 1 and 2 until the belt is running in the
middle.
If the Belt Is Running Towards the Right:
1. Use a 6mm hex key to turn the right adjustment screw, also located at the back end
of the belt, by 1/8 turn clockwise and the left adjustment screw 1/8 turn counter-
clockwise.
2. Wait for a short time, as results will not immediately be apparent.
3. If the belt is now running in the middle of the deck, the adjustment was successful.
If still off-center, repeat the steps 1 and 2 until the belt is running in the middle.
If the belt cannot be adjusted, please contact a support representative immediately.
RE-TENSIONING THE TREADMILL BELT
If the belt is slipping on the drive rollers during operation (this will be apparent
because the belt will jolt noticeably during operation) the belt must be re-tensioned.
The belt is re-tensioned using the same adjustment screws used when adjusting the
belt, located at the back end of the belt.
1. Start up the treadmill belt and let it run at a constant speed of 2.5 mi/hr.
2. Use a 6mm hex key to turn one adjustment screw, then the other, by 1/8 of a turn in
a clockwise direction.
3. Try to slow down the belt by walking on it as if you are walking down a steep slope.
If the front roller is still turning, repeat the tensioning process once again. The
treadmill belt should be tensioned so that the front roller only turns with heavy
braking.
RESTORING THE ELECTROSTRIDE AFTER A POWER SURGE OR OVERVOLTAGE
FAULT-CURRENT BUTTON
There is a Fault-Current button next to the Power switch on the front of the motor
cover. The Fault-Current button prevents the treadmill from being damaged by
electrical surges in the network. In the event of an electrical surge, the button acts
as a circuit breaker and completely switches the treadmill off. If a power surge
occurs:
1. Flip the Power switch to the OFF position and unplug the power cable from the
wall outlet.
2. Press the Fault-Current button back in (it pops out when tripped, similar to a
bathroom or kitchen GFCI outlet).
3. Plug the power cable into a wall outlet and flip the Power switch to the ON position.
FUSE
To protect the treadmill from damage caused by a power overvoltage, there is also a
fuse next to the Power switch. This breaks the circuit in the event of an overvoltage
and switches the treadmill completely off. If this occurs:
1. Flip the Power switch to the OFF position and unplug the power cable from the
wall socket.
2. Check the fuse and replace it, if necessary.
3. Re-connect the power cable to the wall outlet and switch the treadmill back on
using the Power switch.
