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 or 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 your foot during a run, the
tension on the running belt may have to be increased.
TO INCREASE THE RUNNING BELT TENSION:
A. 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.
B. Repeat STEP A 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.
C. Repeat STEP A and STEP B until the slipping is eliminated.
D. 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 TURNS.
CENTERING 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 force that one foot exerts in the relation to the other. This deflection can
cause the belt to move off-center. 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-center, you will need to centre
the running belt manually.
A).
Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press (SPEED UP ) bottom until speed
reaches 6kph.
B).
Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the deck.
a. If toward the left side of the deck
Using wrench, turn the left adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn and the right adjustment bolt
counterclockwise 1/4.
b. If toward the right side of the deck
Using wrench, turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 turn and the left adjustment bolt
counterclockwise 1/4.
c. If the belt is still not centered, repeat the above steps until the running belt is on center.
C).
After the belt is centered, increase the speed to 16kph and verify that it is running smoothly.
Repeat the above steps if it is necessary.
If the above procedure is unsuccessful in resolving the off-center, you may need to increase the belt
tension.
