ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT
Ensure the running belt is centered on your treadmill at all times .
Running style and Non-level surface are two instances which may
cause the belt to drift off center .
Minor adjustments to the two bolts at the rear of the treadmill are
necessary when the belt has drifted off center . See fig . A & B .
1 . Press the Master Power Switch (located at the front of the treadmill)
to ON position and ensure Safety Key is properly placed onto the
computer console, press the START button to begin running, then
increase the treadmill's speed to 3 kph .
2 . Stand right behind the treadmill and to determine which side the belt
is drifting .
3 . If the belt drifts to the right, turn the right adjustment bolt
one-quarter of a turn clockwise and the left adjustment bolt
one-quarter counter clockwise (See Fig . A) .
4 . If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt
one-quarter of a turn clockwise and turn the right adjustment bolt one-quarter
turn counter-clockwise (See Fig . B) .
5 . Observe the tracking of the belt for about two minutes . Repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5 as needed .
Adjust the belt tension if it begins to slip on the rollers . This is important as it increased the longevity of
the treadmills components .
Before adjusting belt tension, keep the belt loose
1 . Turn the MASTER POWER SWITCH to the ON position and make sure safety key is properly
placed onto the computer console .
2 . Press START button to start running the belt, then increase speed to 3KPH .
3 . Turn both adjustment screws an equal amount, approximately one-quarter turn clockwise .
4 . Slow the belt by holding onto the handrails and applying more weights as you walk, (as if you are
walking downhill) . Then stepping heavily on the belt to see if the belt slips .
5 . If the belt slips, adjust one-quarter turn clockwise and repeat STEP 4 if necessary .
ALWAYS BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN THE RUNNING BELT.
Turn off power and unplug from electrical outlet .
Carefully position the treadmill on its side .
Use a damp cloth to wipe off the inside of the running belt . Carefully rotate the running belt by hand to
clean the entire inside face . Return treadmill to its upright
Position .
If running belt edges are frayed, check the running belt adjustment .
If seams are splitting, call your retailer or nearest authorized service center .
