Care and Maintenance
Adjust tensile force of the treadmill belt
The treadmill belt has been adjusted well before leaving the factory. Long time idleness may lead to
stretching of the belt. Check to make sure the belt will not slip before using the treadmill.
Do not adjust the tension force of the belt when some one is using the machine. Excessive tensile force of the
belt will add load to machine and its components. Do not tighten the belt excessively.
If the belt slips when you are doing exercise on the treadmill, then you need to adjust tensile force of the
belt. Slipping is usually caused by stretching of the belt. And adjustment is common and normal. In order to
exclude slipping, use wrenches with proper size to turn adjusting screws at both sides of the belt clockwise by
1/4 turns (see the following figure) and then check whether slipping remains. If it remains to slip, repeat the
above procedures until it is free of slipping. Make sure that it is available to turn by 1/4 turns every time.
