6.5 Walking belt alignment
When the treadmill is placed on a floor that is not flat, it is possible that the belt needs to be
aligned. This may only be done by an authorized user. The following procedure must be
followed:
7. Remove the caps (figure 1, A)
8. Adjust the speed of the treadmill to 5 km/h.
9. If the belt runs towards the left side, as viewed from the rear of the treadmill,
adjust the left bolt, (figure 1, B), viewed from the rear end of the belt (using a
size 10 socket head screw wrench) a quarter turn clockwise. The belt will now
move slowly right. See Figure 5.
If the belt runs towards the right side, as viewed from the rear of the treadmill, adjust the left
bolt (figure 1,B), viewed from the rear end of the belt (using a size 10 socket head screw
wrench) a quarter turn anti-clockwise. The belt will now slowly move to the left. See Figure
5.
Figure. 1
See (figure 1,C). The left edge of the belt of the treadmill should run 62±3mm from the side
measured at left side of the treadmill. This is indicated by (figure 1, C) in Figure 5.
ATTENTION!
The belt reacts very slowly to the turning of the tension bolt. Therefore let the treadmill run
for 2 minutes. If this adjustment is not enough, repeat the action.
ATTENTION!
ONLY use the left adjustment bolts since the other bolts will influence the belt tension. This
could degrade the performance of the treadmill. Do not tighten the belt to much. This will
shorten the service life of the walking belt and it will make the drive motor run unnecessary
heavy.
ATTENTION
Never use oil or a silicon spray as lubricant for the belt! The belt is self lubricating.
