4.5 Belt Adjustment
Belt Tension Adjustment
-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to
provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and
left rear roller in order to adjust tension with the Hexagonal Wrench provided in the parts
package. The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
Note: Adjustment is thru the small hold on the end caps.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both the
right and left bolt clockwise reasonably and inspect for proper tension. When an
adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to
compensate for the change in belt tension.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN - Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure
.
4.6 Belt Tracking Adjustment:
This treadmill is designed to keep the belt reasonably centred while in use. It is normal
for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a
few minutes of use, the belt should have a tendency to centre itself. If during use, the
belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary. The procedures are
as below:
▲
First set speed at lowest position.
▲
Second check the belt shifts to which side.

Right bolt
