TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for
some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if
during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
Setting Tread-Belt Tracking:
An 8mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make
tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph.
Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference
which may not be apparent right away. If the belt is too close to the
left side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise)
and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make
1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require periodic
tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking
differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of
a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all
treadmills.
ATTENTION: Damage to the running belt resulting from improper tracking / tension adjustments is not
covered under the Spirit Fitness warranty.
