SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on

THE POWER CORD.
Using the hex key, turn both
idler roller screws (C) 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 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform.
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug
in the power cord, insert the key, and start the
walking belt at 1 mph. Walk on the treadmill and
observe the walking belt. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.
Make sure to adjust
the walking belt in small increments and to
observe the walking belt for a minute after each
adjustment.
c.
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to
the walking belt or the walking platform unless
instructed to do so by an authorized service
representative. Such substances may deterio-
rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more
lubricant, see the front cover of this manual.
d.
If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see
the front cover of this manual.
