CENTERING THE BELT

The Johnson Treadmill is built with a crowned roller to ensure proper tracking of the 

belt in the centre of the deck. An 8 mm Allen wrench (A 5/16-inch hex key wrench) is 

required for this task. The unit has access holes in the rear roller guards which allow 

access to the tensioning bolts.

Before proceeding, please follow the centering belt procedure tips.

1) DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery while making this adjustment.

2) NEVER have the tensioning bolts more than 1/4 turned at a time.

3) Tighten one side and loosen the other side to prevent from over-tightening or

    loosing the belt. Over-tightening the belt will significantly shorten the life of the belt.

4) After the belt adjustment, let the treadmill run for 5 minutes to test. If necessary,

    repeat the procedure until the belt is centered.

If the belt has moved to the right, turn the right tension bolt a 1/4 turn clockwise and 

then turn the left tension bolt a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start the belt tracking 

back to the centre of the roller.

Repeat the adjustments until the belt appears centered. Allow the treadmill to continue 

running for several minutes at 6.4 km/h (4.0 mph) to be sure that the tracking is 

stabilized.

NOTE: DO NOT

 exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after 

one full turn the belt does not track properly, please contact Johnson Fitness or the 

local authorized dealers.

TENSIONING THE BELT

Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very snug. When a person walks or 

runs on the belt, it should not hesitate or slip. If this occurs, turn the belt tensioning 

bolts a 1/4 turn clockwise for each side. Repeat if necessary until the belt no longer 

slips. DO NOT exceed one full turn (i.e. four 1/4 turns) per side when adjusting the belt 

tensioning bolts. If after tension the belt, the belt still hesitates or slips, please contact 

Johnson Fitness or the local authorized dealers at once.

If the belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt a 1/4 turn clockwise and then 

turn the right tension bolt a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start the belt tracking back to 

the centre of the roller.
