2.4 ADJUSTING THE BELT
After placing the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be
checked for proper tension and centering. The belt might need to be adjusted
after the first two hours of use. Temperature, humidity, and use cause the
belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt starts to slip when a user is on
it, be sure to follow the directions below.
Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill.
The bolts are located at each end of the frame at the back of
the treadmill. These bolts adjust the rear belt roller. Do not
adjust until the treadmill is on. This will prevent over tighten-
ing of one side.
The belt should have equal distance on either side between
the frame. If the belt is touching one side, do not start the
treadmill. Turn the bolts counter clockwise approximately one
full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing
the belt from side to side. Tighten the bolts the same amount
as when the user loosened them, approximately one full turn.
Inspect the belt for damage.
While the treadmill is running at 3 mph, observe the belt posi-
tion. If it is moving to the right, tighten the right bolt by turn-
ing it clockwise ¼ turn, and loosen the left bolt ¼ turn. If it is
moving to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it clockwise
¼ turn and loosen the right ¼ turn. Repeat Step 3 until the
belt remains centered for several minutes.
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, tighten the belt by turning both bolts
clockwise ¼ turn. Repeat if necessary.
2.5 MAINTENANCE LAMP (MX-T3
X
& MX-T3xi)
There is a maintenance lamp on the console to remind the owner to do the
scheduled maintenance. When the treadmill's accumulated distance reaches
5000 miles, the maintenance lamp will light meaning maintenance is
needed. The following is the maintenance lamp key:
•
Blue
: It means that the treadmill needs to be maintained. To turn
off the maintenance light after performing service, hold the
INCLINE DOWN
and
SPEED DOWN
at the same time for 3
seconds.
•
Red
: It means that the treadmill might have a problem, and needs to be checked.
