Belt Tension & Adjustment
The belt on your bike has been factory set and it should not require adjustment. The long term wear of the bikes belt is excellent and
should not require future adjustment. This procedure is being shown in the unlikely event the belt slips.
CAUTION:
Improper belt adjustment will cause premature wear and may void the warranty.
To adjust belt on Spinner
®
Blade Belt Bike:
1. Using a 3mm Allen Wrench, remove the three screws
supporting the plastic belt guard shroud. (Figures 4)
2. Using a 16mm or 5/8” socket and socket wrench, loosen
the axle nuts on both sides of the flywheel.
3. Using a 10mm open end wrench, loosen the lock nuts on
the belt adjustment screws.
4. To tighten the belt, turn the adjustment screw in a
clockwise rotation equally on both sides using the 10mm
open end wrench. (Figure 2A & 2B).
5. To loosen the belt, turn the adjustment screws on both
sides counter-clockwise using a 10mm open end wrench.
6. While adjusting the belt tension, work on both sides of the
flywheel. Adjust the angle of the flywheel so it is straight
front to rear and evenly spaced within the frame side to
side. (Figure 2A & 2B).

8. Adjust the angle of the flywheel by adjusting the adjustment
screws on both sides of the flywheel. Test by slowly
rotating the pedals.

•
Use a Krikit measuring device or similar to measure belt
tension.

If the belt is stretched beyond adjustment, the
replacement of the belt is recommended.

When alignment is at the optimal adjustment, the belt
will run smoother and quieter.
