BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
WHEN SHOULD I INCREASE BELT TENSION?
As a result of regular use, the running belt may require tensioning.
 A too loose belt may stop despite a running motor.

Do not overtension the belt as it may damage the motor, shaft, or bearings.

A correctly stretched belt can be lifted on the sides up to about 5–7.5 cm. It is easily verifiable.
The belt is tensioned correctly if you can fit three fingers under it.
The belt needs to be tensioned when it starts to slip, slide sideways, or curl during training.
Place the treadmill on a flat surface. Run the treadmill at about 6–8 km/h and note the deviation of the
running belt.
INCREASING BELT TENSION
A special wrench was included in the delivery. Place it in the left belt adjustment bolt in the rear of the
treadmill. Rotate the wrench 90 degrees clockwise (Fig. C). This way, you stretch the rear roller and increase
belt tension. Repeat for the right bolt. Make sure the bolts are tightened equally.
Repeat on both sides until the belt tension is correct.
REDUCING BELT TENSION
Belt tension is reduced in a similar way to how it is increased. Rotate the wrench counterclockwise.
CENTRING THE RUNNING BELT
WHEN SHOULD I CENTRE THE BELT?
The belt may move to one side as a result of different running styles
(most often greater load on one leg). This is why the belt may need to
be adjusted from time to time.
The belt should centre itself as the treadmill is used. It has to be
adjusted when it diverges
to the right or left.
CENTRING THE BELT
Run the treadmill at a low speed (eg. 3 km/h). Check which side the
belt moves to.
 If the belt moves to the right, place the wrench in the right
adjustment bolt.
Rotate the wrench 90 degrees clockwise (Fig. A). Note
whether the belt is centred. If it continues to diverge to
the right, rotate the wrench 90 degrees again.

If the belt moves to the left, act similarly on the left
adjustment bolt (Fig. B).
MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure the maximum safety of treadmill operation, it is advisable to check the wear of its parts
regularly. In concerns in particular tightness and condition of nuts, bolts, moving parts, bushings, etc.
Store the device in a dry and warm place. Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
CAUTION! Always turn the treadmill off and disconnect the power cord before maintenance.
