CENTRING THE RUNNING BELT
When you run, you may push off harder with one foot than with the other. The severity of the deflection
depends on the amount of force that one foot exerts in relation to the other. This deflection can cause the belt
to move off-centre. This deflection is normal, and the running belt will centre when nobody is on the running
belt. If the running belt remains consistently off-centre, you will need to centre the running belt manually.
1.
Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press “Speed+” button until speed reaches 6
km/h.
2.
Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the deck.
a) If towards the left side of the deck, using 6# Allen Wrench, turn the left adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4
turn and let the running belt settle into its new position; if it’s still moving towards the left side, turn the
bolt another 1/4 turn.
b) If towards the right side of the deck, using 6# Allen Wrench, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise
1/4 turn and let the running belt settle into its new position; if it’s still moving towards the right side, turn
the bolt another 1/4 turn.
c) If the belt is still not central, repeat the above steps until the running belt is centred.
3.
After the belt is centred, increase the speed to 12km/h and verify that it is running smoothly. Repeat the
above steps if necessary. If the above procedure is unsuccessful in resolving the alignment, you may
need to increase the belt tension.
