Treadbelt Tracking
1. Ensure that the Treadbelt tracks properly. Treadbelt tracking is
maintained by ensuring that the drive and take-up rollers are
parallel, each is at right angles to the frame, so that the treadbelt
tension from side to side is equal as shown in the following figure. If
the treadbelt is running diagonally, with unequal gaps between the
treadbelt and sides then the rollers must be adjusted (see Figure 2-
30).
Figure 2-30. Tracking Setup
Adjustment is performed using the two adjustment screws (6mm
Allen wrench) located at rear of treadmill, see Figure 2-30. The
following provides a tracking adjustment example: Treadbelt tracks
