Tensioning the belt
+ If the running belt slips over the rollers during operation (if this is the case, a
noticeable jerking will be noticed while running), the running belt must be
tightened again. In most cases, the cause for the slipping is a straining of the belt
through usage. This is completely normal.
+ It can be tightened through the same setting screws that were used during
alignment.
+ While tensioning the belt, let the equipment run with a speed of 5km/h.
+ Turn the left and right setting screws directly after each other a max. 1/4 clockwise
rotation clockwise.
+ Then check if the running belt is still slipping. If this is still the case, the described
process needs to be repeated.
Lubricating the running belt
+ If the running belt is inadequately lubricated, the friction will increase significantly
and this leads to strong wear of the endless belt, running panel, motor and circuit
board.
+ If you feel an increase in friction from the running belt, this is an indicator that you
should lubricate the belt (however, a lubrication should be done at least every
three months).
+ The treadmill has a reminder for lubricating the treadmill: A symbol is displayed on
the console every 100 operating hours. The symbol appears on the display for five
minutes and then turns off. In order to turn off the symbol prematurely, press the
INCLINE up and INCLINE down buttons at the same time.
