Belt Tensioning
If the belt begins to slip and needs to be tensioned, tension bolts are
accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt, start the
treadmill and set the speed to 3 mph (5 kph).
A. Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the right
and left tension bolts 1/2 turn clockwise.
B. Test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt slips repeat step A and
test again.

Note:
Adjusting one side more than the other will cause the belt to
drift to the side of the treadmill and will require belt alignment.
Check to be sure the running belt is still aligned. If belt
alignment is off refer to Belt Alignment section.
CAUTION

tighten more than 2 full turns on each side.
Over tensioning the belt can cause unnecessary friction and wear and
tear on the belt, motor and electronics.
