How to Adjust and Tension the Running Belt
(Continued)
11.3 Tensioning an Existing Running Belt
a. Press GO and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5Kph / 3.1Mph.
Note:
DO NOT RUN OR WALK ON THE RUNNING BELT.
b. Reduce the speed to 3.0Kph / 1.9Mph. Walk on the Treadmill. Tightly grip the Handrails and apply force with feet on the Running
Belt near the Motor Cover against the moving Belt direction. If the Belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does not slip, the tension is
correct.
c. Using the STOP key, stop the Treadmill. Turn the Running Belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.
d. Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side when adjusting the Belt
tensioning bolts.
e. Press GO, operate the Treadmill at 3.0Kph / 1.9Mph and check to ensure proper tracking. If the Running Belt drifts to the left or right
see Tracking (Centring) an Existing or New Running Belt on the previous page.
Re-check the tension of the Running Belt, do not over tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over tightening of
bolts may over stretch and damage the Running Belt or Roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.
NOTE:
Take care not to touch the Running Belt during this procedure.
