PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1mm
2
(14-gauge) cord that is no longer
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD
. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When
the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be
able to lift each edge of the walking belt 5 to 7 cm (2
to 3 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep
the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly
tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please see the front cover of this manual.
