TENSIONING THE TREAD-BELT
1. Use an 8mm wrench for the left adjustment bolt. Turn it clockwise
by a ¼ turn.
2. Repeat STEP 1 with the right adjustment bolt. Ensure that you turn
each bolt the same number of turns. If you fail to do so, the belt will
start running askew and you risk destroying the belt.
3. Repeat STEP 1 and STEP 2 until the belt stops slipping/moves
from its “standing still” position.
4. Be careful not to overtighten the belt, as this may damage the front
roller’s ball bearings. If this happens, you will hear a metallic noise
coming from the roller.
To reduce load on the rollers (to loosen the belt), turn both the right and
left bolts clockwise the same number of turns.
CENTRING THE TREADMILL / BELT
When you run, it is normal that you push off harder with one foot than
with another. However, with time, this may lead to the belt being pulled
askew. The treadmill will usually re-centre itself by simply being
allowed to run without any load on it, meaning no one standing on it
while it is running. If this does not remedy the problem, you should
adjust your treadmill manually.

Start the treadmill/belt, allowing it to run at 6 km/h and
ensuring there is no load on it. Observe whether the belt is
pulls to the right or the left.
