3.2 CENTERING AND TENSIONING THE BELT
CENTERING THE BELT:
The Vision Fitness T60 is built with a crowned roller to ensure proper tracking of the belt in the center of the deck. When you run or walk, you
may push off harder with one foot than the other. This uneven deflection can cause the belt to move off center. Occasionally, the belt may need
further adjustment to keep it centered. To center the belt, use the enclosed 8mm Allen wrench to adjust the rear roller position.
CAUTION:
Please follow the belt centering tips below before you begin.
1) Do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry while making adjustments.
2) Never turn the bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
3) Tighten one side and loosen the other side to prevent over-tightening or loosening of the belt. This can significantly shorten the life time
of the belt.
4) Press QUICK START and speed up to 4 MPH during the belt adjustment.
5) After the belt adjustment, let the treadmill run for 5 minutes to test. If necessary repeat the procedure until the belt is centered.
If the belt moves to the left: Turn the left tension bolt a 1/4 turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt clockwise to start the belt tracking
back to the center of the roller.
If the belt moves to the right: Turn the right tension bolt a 1/4 turn clockwise and then turn the left tension bolt clockwise to start the belt tracking
back to the center of the roller.
Repeat these adjustments until the belt appears centered. Allow the belt to continue running for several minutes to be sure that the tracking is
stabilized.
NOTE:
DO NOT exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn, the belt does not track properly,
contact your Johnson Dealer.
TENSIONING THE BELT:
Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very snug. When a person walks or runs on the belt, it should not hesitate or slip. If this
occurs, tighten the belt by turning both tension bolts a 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat if necessary, but never turn the tension bolts more than 1/4
turn at a time.
CAUTION:
Over-tightening of the belt will severely shorten the life of the belt and cause damage to the other components.
