TREADBELT 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 is provided for this adjustment.
Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set
belt speed at 3 mph ( 5 kmph). 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 WARRANTY.
