GENERAL MAINTENANCE
BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment
- Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very
important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.
Adjustment must be made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust tension with
the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolt is located at the
end of the right-side rail as noted in diagram below.

Adjustment
Note:
Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the treadbelt
tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment
to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by turning both the
tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment should be made by
turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
– Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure.
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level
surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant
Belt adjustment may be necessary. The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt
reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belt to drift near on eside while the
belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of use, the tradbelt should have a
tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt continues to move toward one side
adjutsmtents may be necessary.
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING
:
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the
rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the
left and the right side. Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjustment
can make a dramatic difference. Turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn and wait a few minutes for the
belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns
until the belt stabilizes in the center of the
running deck. The belt may require periodic
tracking adjustment depending on use and
walking/running characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to make
adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a
maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills.
