2. Treadmill
The walking belt on the treadmill is
dynamic. This means that for various
reasons a treadmill belt tends to drift
to the side and thus will go out of
alignment. for instance when taking a
turn or during crosswind. In any case.
a belt always drifts towards the side
where the belt is too loose.
This is normal and will have no negative
affect. However, the belt is supposed
to run in the middle. If it rubs against
the side for too long, it will start fraying.
In order to avoid this you must align or
center the belt [read 2.1]
2.1 Treadmill belt centering
On the right and left front side of the
treadmill you will find the tension
adjustment bolts [see image 7 and 8].
Using an Allen key
5
mm [included] you
can loosen or tighten the treadmill belt
[depending on the rotation direction].
When the belt drifts too far to the right.
insert the key in the right bolt and turn
it a quarter to the right. When the belt
drifts too far to the left. insert the key in

the left bolt and turn it a quarter to the
right as well. If the belt doesn't center
far enough, repeat the process one
more time.
NOTE: Don't turn it too much. in
which case the belt will get too
tight. This will influence the Lopifit's per
formance. Turning the left bolt a quater
to the left can also prevent the belt
from drifting to the right.
2.2 Treadmill belt too tight
If the treadmill belt is too tight. it will
overcharge the engine. You will also
feel that mounting the treadmill and
walking will be more strenuous. Turn
both the left and right bolt a quarter to
the left. Repeat if necessary.
2.3 Treadmill belt too loose
If the treadmill belt is too loose. it
will start flapping when going over
bumps and the motor will not run at full
capacity. Also you will notice when
pushing back on the treadmill, it is
possible for the treadmill to slip over
the front and back rollers. Turn both the
left and the right bolt a quarter to the
right. Repeat if necessary.
