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
walking belt has shifted to the right,
turn the left
idler roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be
careful not to overtighten 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 cen-
tered.
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 tight-
ened, 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 cen-
tered. 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.
