WARNING:
Always power off the treadmill, by flipping the Power switch to
the OFF position,
and
unplug the power cord before starting any maintenance,
cleaning, or repairs.
ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT
WARNING:
If the running belt has become so displaced that it is rubbing along
one of the foot rails, this will cause friction and defects to the running 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 running 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 center of the deck or if it has changed position.
Possible reasons for the running belt changing
position are:
• The ground on which the treadmill is
standing is either uneven or at an incline.
• Personal running style (for example,
distribution of weight to one side, in- or
out-turned feet).
HOW TO ADJUST THE RUNNING BELT
If the Belt Is Running to the Left of Center:
1. Use the provided multi-tool to turn the left
adjustment screw, located at the back end
of the belt, 1–2 turns clockwise.
2. Start up the running belt and let it run at a constant speed of 2.5 mi/hr to
see if the belt is now running along the center.
3. If the running belt is now running in the center of the running deck, the
adjustment was successful. If the belt is still off-center, repeat steps 1 and
2 until the belt is running in the center.
If the Belt Is Running to the Right of Center:
1. Use the provided multi-tool to turn the right adjustment screw, located at
the back end of the belt, 1–2 turns clockwise.
2. Start up the running belt and let it run at a constant speed of 2.5 mi/hr to
see if the belt is now running along the center.
3. If the running belt is now running in the center of the running deck, the
adjustment was successful. If still off-center, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the
belt is running in the center.
NOTE:
If the belt cannot be adjusted, please contact a support representative
immediately.
RE-TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
If the running belt is slipping on the drive rollers during operation (this will be
apparent because the belt will jolt noticeably during operation) the belt is too
loose and must be re-tensioned. The running 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 running belt and let it run at a constant speed of 2.5 mi/hr.
2. Use the provided multi-tool to turn one adjustment screw, then the other,
1–2 turns clockwise.
3. Try to slow down the running 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 running belt should be tensioned so that the front
roller only turns with heavy braking.
4. If the belt is too tight, you will feel excessive resistance, skidding, or
pausing. In this case, use the provided multi-tool to turn one adjustment
screw, then the other, 1–2 turns counterclockwise.
