TREAD-BELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use.
It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait
and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side,
adjustments are necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
A 6 mm Allen wrench (
105
)
is provided for
this adjustment. Make tracking
adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt
speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small
adjustment can make a dramatic
difference which may not be apparent right
away. If the belt is
too close to the left
side
, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to
the right (clockwise) and wait a few
minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck.
If the belt is
too close to the right side
, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may
require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments
as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with
all treadmills.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SOLE WARRANTY.
TREADMILL BELT
The walking belt on your new treadmill is made of the highest quality materials designed to
last even under punishing conditions. When a treadmill belt is brand new, and has been in
the package for a few months before use, a common occurrence can happen; the area of
the belt that wraps around the rollers will take on the shape of the roller. Upon starting the
treadmill this shape in the belt causes a thumping sound each time the belt moves past the
rollers. Once the treadmill has been used for a few workouts, the belt wears in and the
thumping sound goes away. This noise is normal on new higher end belts so there is no
need to contact service; the new belt just requires a wear in period. Thank you for choosing
and enjoy your new treadmill.
