PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key
and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left,
use the hex key to turn
the left idler roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn;
if the
walking belt has shifted to the right,
turn the left
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
Using the
hex key, turn both idler roller bolts clockwise 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you
should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to
3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to
keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the
power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.
