PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on

SOLUTION:

a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10.

b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and 

UNPLUG THE

POWER CORD

. Using the allen wrench, turn both

rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 3 to
4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep
the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, in-
sert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call our Customer Service Department, toll-

free.

few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove

the key and

. Using

ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
