TREADMILL MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is very important in order to ensure a faultless condition of the treadmill.
Improper maintenance can cause damage to the treadmill or shorten the life of the product.
All parts of the treadmill must be checked and tightened regularly. Worn out parts must be replaced
immediately.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
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 get 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
workout, the tension on the running belt may have to be increased.
TO INCREASE THE RUNNING BELT TENSION:
1.
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.
2.
Repeat STEP 1 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.
3.
Repeat STEP 1 and STEP 2 until the slipping is eliminated.
4.
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 TRUNS.
CENTRING 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 force4 that one foot exerts in the relation to the other. This
deflection can cause the belt to move off- centre. 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-centre,
you will need to centre the running belt manually.
Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press FAST-key until speed reached 6kph.
