BELT ADJUSTMENT
You may need to adjust the running belt during the first few weeks of use. All running
belts are properly set at the factory. It may stretch of be off center after use. Stretching is
normal during the break-in period.
ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION:
If the running belt feels as though it is “slipping” or hesitating when you plant you foot
during a run, the tension on the running belt may have to be increased.
TO INCREASE THE RUNNING BELT TENSION:
1. Place 8mm wrench on the left belt tension bolt. Turn the wrench clockwise 1/4 turn to
draw the rear roller and increase the belt tension.
2. Repeat STEP 1 for the right belt tension bolt. You must be sure to turn both bolts the
same number of turns, so the rear roller will stay square relative to the frame.
3. Repeat STEP 1 and STEP 2 until the slipping is eliminated.
4. Be careful not to tighten the running belt tension too much as you can create
excessive pressure on the front and rear roller bearings. An excessively tightened
running belt may damage the roller bearings that would result in bearing noise from
the front and rear rollers.
TO DECREASE THE TENSION ON THE RUNNING BELT, TURN BOTH BOLTS
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE THE SAME NUMBER OF TRUNS.
CENTRING THE RUNNING BELT
When you run, you may push off harder with one foot than with another. The severity of
the deflection depends on the amount of force4 that one foot exerts in the relation to the
other. This deflection can cause the belt to move off- centre. This deflection is normal and
the running belt will centre when no body is on the running belt. If the running belt
remains consistently off-centre, you will need to centre the running belt manually.
Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press FAST-key until speed
reached 6kph.
1. Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the deck.

If toward the left side of the deck, using wrench, turn the left adjustment bolt
clockwise 1/4 turn and the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/4.

If toward the right side of the deck, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4
turn and the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/4.

If the belt is still not centre, repeat the above step until the running belt is on
centre.
