and tracking. The belt tension and tracking should be verified anytime the flywheel is removed,
the belt is replaced, at regularly scheduled preventative maintenance, or when there are any
unusual belt related issues (noises, pedal skip, fraying, etc.) while operating the bike.
CAUTION
: Improper belt tension and tracking adjustment will cause premature
wear and may void the Precor Limited Warranty.
