Adjusting the treadmill if it pulls to the sides
After the treadmill has been used for a period of time, users may find that it pulls to the sides.
There can be two reasons for this:
1) The treadmill is not in an even and level position.
2) The user’s feet are not in the middle of the treadmill while training.
3) The user’s feet move with uneven pressure on the treadmill.
How to adjust the treadmill band if it is pulling to the sides
Generally, the treadmill band will adjust by itself after having run for a few minutes. However, if
the treadmill band keeps pulling to the sides, the bolt at the end of the treadmill band can be
adjusted with a hex key by turning it in half circles. If the band is pulling to the left, adjust the left
bolt
clockwise
or the right bolt
counter clockwise
(
B
). If the band is pulling to the right, adjust the
other way (
C)
. Repeat the procedure until the treadmill band is no longer pulling to the sides but
instead is centred. (The sides of the band must be within the area marked in green) (
D
).
The treadmill pulling to the sides is not covered by warranty as it is considered part of the user’s
normal maintenance work.
Please note: The treadmill can be seriously damaged if it is pulling to the sides, so the user
has to find the reason for it and correct it in good time.
