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.
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 tread-belt reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it.
After a few minutes of use, the tread-belt should have a tendency to center itself. If,
during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are 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
Note:
Adjustment is through small hole in end cap.
