PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-center, remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt
has shifted to the left,
use the hex key to turn the
left idler roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn;
if the walk-
ing belt has shifted to the right,
turn the bolt coun-
terclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to over-
tighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord, insert
the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
Using
the hex key, turn both idler roller bolts clockwise, 1/4
of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened,
you should be able to lift each edge of the walking
belt 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug
in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk
on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the
walking belt is properly tightened.
