RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT (continued):
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 ¼ 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.
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 rear end caps of
the treadmill.
•
Using the appropriate size Allen wrench or socket turn
BOTH adjustment bolts clockwise ¼ turn.
•
Turn the treadmill on and start the belt and check if the
slipping continues. Repeat the above steps if additional
adjustment is necessary.
TREADMILL LUBRICATION:
For in-home use over 20 hours per week, TRUE recommends lubricating every three months. For average in-home use of
the treadmill, TRUE recommends lubrication under the tread belt once per year.
•
Loosen the belt adjustment bolts in the rear end caps.
•
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 treadmill 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.
