ADJUSTMENT
When adjusted properly, the
Avari® Adjustable Height Treadmill’s
WALKING BELT(11)
will roll smoothly
around the
BOARD(10)
and over the front and rear rollers without catching or rubbing. For the belt to run
smoothly, there are a few points that need to be noted
.
BELT ALIGNMENT
The
WALKING BELT(11)
must be in the center of the
BOARD(10)
to prevent it from rubbing against the
FLYWHEEL COVER(9).
If the belt rubs the
FLYWHEEL COVER(9),
it will be difficult to keep the belt moving
and will eventually damage the edge of the belt. The treadmill has belt guides welded to the bottom of the
treadmill frame that move the belt toward the center of the treadmill. However, the
REAR ROLLER(8)
must
be properly aligned with the treadmill frame and
FRONT ROLLER w/FLYWHEELS(7)
if the belt is to remain
centered on the treadmill. The bolts in the rear of the treadmill (one on the left and the other on the right)
adjust the alignment of the
REAR ROLLER(8)
as well as the tension of the belt
The belt will run to the side of the loose rear bolt.
Hint:
Visually check the
REAR ROLLER(8)
to make sure both the right side and the left side of the
REAR
ROLLER(8)
are the same distance from the back edge of the treadmill. Using the 5mm
ALLEN
WRENCH
, make adjustments by turning the bolts clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
BELT DRIFTING LEFT
Adjust by turning the left screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE and the right screw
1/4 turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Walk on the treadmill to check alignment.
Repeat if needed.
BELT DRIFTING RIGHT
Adjust by turning the left screw 1/4 turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE and the
right screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE. Walk on the treadmill to check alignment.
Repeat if needed.
NOTE:
When you believe the
WALKING BELT(11)
is centered, use the treadmill for three (3) minutes to verify the
WALKING BELT(11)
won’t drift to one side or the other. If the
WALKING BELT(11)
continues to drift, the
floor may not be level. Rotate the treadmill 90 degrees or move the treadmill to another location.
BELT TENSION
The
WALKING BELT(11)
should be taut and not lying loosely on the treadmill
BOARD(10).
If the belt is
too loose, it will slip on the front roller and you will notice a jerky movement when you walk on the treadmill.
If the belt is too tight, the edges of the belt will begin to curl and more effort will be required to move the
belt. Excessive belt tension can also damage the bearings in the rollers. The bolts on the ends of the
MAIN
FRAME(1)
(one on the left and the other on the right) adjust the
WALKING BELT(10)
tension as well as
the
REAR ROLLER(8)
alignment.
BELT TOO LOOSE:
Use the 5mm
ALLEN WRENCH
to tighten the bolts on the ends of the
MAIN
FRAME(1).
Tighten both bolts 1/4 turn clockwise at a time until the belt stops slipping on the
FRONT
ROLLER w/FLYWHEELS(7).
BELT TOO TIGHT
:
Use the 5mm
ALLEN WRENCH
to loosen the bolts on the ends of the
MAIN FRAME(1).
Loosen both bolts 1/2 turn counterclockwise at a time until the belt begins to slip on the
FRONT ROLLER
w/FLYWHEELS(7).
Then use the procedure above to tighten the belt to the proper tension.
