PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD
. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When
the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be
able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 inches
off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walk-
ing belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert
the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-center, remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
.
If the walking belt
has shifted to the left,
use the allen wrench to turn
the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn;
if the
walking belt has shifted to the right,
turn the bolt
counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to over-
tighten 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, remove the
key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
. Using the
allen wrench, turn both rear 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 inches 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.
PROBLEM: The upper body arms squeak during use
SOLUTION:
a. (Note: Correcting this problem requires a small amount
of white marine grease, available at hardware stores.)
Turn the Resistance Knob (109) counterclockwise and
remove it. Next, remove the Resistance Cone (108)
and the Upper Body Arm (24), along with the
Resistance Plate (27), Washers (5), Spring Washer
(111), Thrust Washers (112), and Thrust Bearing
(113). (Note: If the Resistance Sleeve [107] or the
Resistance Plate [27] comes out of the Resistance
Bracket [105] or the Resistance Cone [108], press it
back in.) Apply a
thin layer
of white marine grease to
the outer surface of the Resistance Cone (107). Then,
reattach all parts in the order shown at the right.
