BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Treadbelt Tension Adjustment
- Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very
important for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.
Adjustment must be made from the right side of the rear roller in order to adjust
tension with the 6 mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment
bolt is located at the end of the right side rail as noted in diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the
treadbelt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper
tension.
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking
adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension.
This is accomplished by
turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment
should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
– Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature
bearing failure.
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably
level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and
constant belt adjustment may be necessary.
The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it.
After a few minutes of use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If,
during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
Note:
Adjustment is through small hole in end
