purchased from Nautilus (call Customer Service
for order information).
2. Inspect the power cord and walking belt for wear.
3. Check the position of the walking belt; be sure it is
not rubbing against the frame. The belt should be
evenly spaced on the deck within 0.25 inch; adjust
if necessary.

Treadmill Belt Adjustments
qqqqq
WARNING
SECURE LONG HAIR AND
LOOSE CLOTHING BEFORE WORKING NEAR THE
TREADMILL WALKING SURFACE OR PULLEYS.
As the treadmills walking belt stretches through
use it will become necessary to tension on the belt.
This often occurs within the first few months of use.
Adjust the belt tension whenever the belt slips or
moves unsteadily during operation. The belt tension
is adjusted by moving the rear roller of the treadmill
back to reduce slack. This is accomplished by turning
the adjustment bolts located on the back of
the treadmill.
