Adjusting the motor belt
If the treadmill occasionally fails to move
while you are running, this is probably
because the motor belt is loose and needs
adjusting.
Remedy
Step 1: Open the cover over the motor. Allow
the treadmill to run at its lowest speed.
Step 2: Stand on the treadmill and let it move
you backwards while you hold on to the
handles and try to press the treadmill hard
down towards the plate.
Step 3: If the treadmill does not stop running
round as you do this, either the treadmill
or the motor belt needs adjusting. They are
correctly set.
If the treadmill stops when you step hard on
it, but the front roller continues, the treadmill
needs adjusting (see Adjusting the treadmill).
If both the treadmill and the front roller
stops, adjust the motor belt.
Adjustment
Step 1:
Unplug the treadmill and remove the cover
from the motor.
Step 2:
Undo the 4 screws and adjust the threaded
rod using a 6 mm Allen key. If you can run
the motor belt more than 120 degrees
backwards, it is too loose. It must be
tightened. If you can only run the motor belt
around 60 degrees backwards, it is tightened
correctly. It must not be adjusted.
Step 3:
Retighten the motor and replace the cover
over the motor.
