Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt
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. If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem may be a loose Motor
drive belt under the front cover.
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 tread-belt 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 tread-belt should have a tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt
continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from
the left side only. Set the belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. Be aware
that a small adjustment can make a
dramatic difference which may not be
apparent right away. If the belt is too
close to the left side, then turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise)
and wait a few minutes for the belt to
adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4
turns until the belt stabilizes in the
center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/ running characteristics. Some
users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the
treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used.
Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills
ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION
