If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use,
causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, turn the treadmill off and tension both the rear roller bolts
using the supplied Allen wrench, turning them ¼ turn to the right as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but never
turn the roller bolts more than ¼ turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can move off-center during shipment. Before
operating the treadmill,make sure the belt is centered and remains centered to maintain smooth operation.
if the running belt is too far to the right side
: With the treadmill running
at 1 mph, turn the left adjustment bolt counter-clockwise ¼ turn at a
time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt alignment. Allow
belt to run a full cycle to gauge if more adjustment is needed. Repeat if
necessary, until the belt remains
centered during use.
