TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT:
If there is a slipping or jerking sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt may require tightening. In most
cases the belt has stretched from use. Tensioning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this
procedure, call the TRUE Service Department.
• Locate the belt adjustment bolts in the front belt cover.
• Remove the rubber cover plugs.
• Using the appropriate size Allen wrench or socket,
turn BOTH adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4 turn.
• Turn the unit on, start the belt, and check if the slipping
continues.
• Repeat the above steps if additional adjustment is necessary.
Note: After the running belt tensioning is complete, confirm
both Allen wrenches have been removed from the adjustment
bolts in the front belt cover before further use.
BELT LUBRICATION:
For commercial use over 20 hours per week, TRUE recommends lubricating every three months.
• Locate the belt adjustment bolts in the front belt cover
• Remove the rubber cover plugs.
• Loosen the belt adjustment bolts in the front belt cover.
• Lift the belt and apply the lubricant to the center of the
deck.
• Center and re-tension the belt using the directions above.
• Walk on the unit at 2MPH for about 60 seconds to spread
the lubricant evenly through the belt and deck.
*Please contact your dealer or visit www.truefitness.com to
obtain the proper lubricants.
If the running belt is too far to the left side:
•
Locate the belt adjustment bolts in the rear end caps of the
treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the
treadmill and face the display).
•
Using the appropriate size Allen wrench or socket turn the LEFT
adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4
turn.
•
Turn the treadmill on and start the belt at 3mph keeping off the
unit.
•
Allow 2 minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
•
Repeat the above steps if additional adjustment is necessary.
Note: After the running belt alignment is complete, confirm the Allen wrench has been removed from the adjustment bolt
in the front belt cover before further use.
