TENSIONING THE BELT
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt
must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt
to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension
both the rear roller bolts with the
appropriate size allen wrench, turning
it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Try
the treadmill again to check for
slipping. Repeat if necessary, but
NEVER TURN the roller bolts more
than 1/4 turn at a time. the belt
tension is set properly when the
running belt is 1/4 of an inch from
the deck.
CENTERING THE BELT
If the running belt is too far to the right side, use the supplied Allen wrench to turn
the right tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the belt remains centered
during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side, turn the left tension bolt clockwise 1/4
turn at a time until the belt remains centered during use.
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO THE LEFT SIDE:
• Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten).
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO
THE RIGHT SIDE:
• Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise (tighten).
