ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt must be centered at all times. Running style and
uneven surfaces are two instances which may cause the belt to drift
off center. First confirm that the treadmill is on a flat surface and
does not rock. If the machine rocks, or is unstable, follow the
leveling procedure in this manual.
Minor adjustments to the two bolts at the rear of the treadmill are
necessary when the belt has drifted off center (See Fig. A & B).
1. Press the Master Power Switch (located at the front of the treadmill)
to ON position and ensure Safety Key is properly placed onto the
computer console, press the START key to start the running belt.
Increase the treadmill's speed to about 1.8 mph. (
WARNING:
Do
not let loose clothing get caught in the belt or rollers)
2. Stand behind the treadmill and determine which side the belt has
drifted to.
3. If the belt has drifted to the right, turn the right adjustment
bolt one-quarter of a turn clockwise and the left adjustment
bolt one-quarter counter clockwise (See Fig. A).
4. If the belt has drifted to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt
one-quarter of a turn clockwise and turn the right adjustment bolt
one-quarter turn counter-clockwise (See Fig. B).
5. Observe the tracking of the belt for about two minutes. Repeat
Steps 3, 4, and 5 as needed.

ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT TENSION
Adjust the belt tension if the running belt slips during use. This is important as it increased the longevity
of the treadmills components.
Before adjusting belt tension, keep the belt loose.
1. Turn the MASTER POWER SWITCH to the ON position and make sure safety key is properly
placed onto the computer console.
2. Press START button to start running the belt, then increase speed to 1.8 mph.
3. Turn both adjustment screws an equal amount, approximately one-quarter turn clockwise.
4. Slow the belt by holding onto the handrails and applying more weights as you walk, (as if you are
walking downhill).
5. Then stepping heavily on the belt to see if the belt slips. If the belt slips, adjust one-quarter turn
clockwise and repeat STEP 4 if necessary.
CLEANING AND INSPECTING THE RUNNING BELT
Turn off power and unplug from electrical outlet.
Carefully position the treadmill on its side.
Use a damp cloth to wipe off the inside of the running belt. Carefully rotate the running belt by hand to
clean the entire inside face. Return treadmill to its upright Position.
If running belt edges are frayed, check the running belt adjustment.
If seams are splitting, call your retailer or nearest authorized service center.
