  • Page 10 Tensioning or Aligning the Running Belt Tensioning the Running 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.
  • Page 11: Aligning The Running Belt

    Aligning the Running Belt: If the running belt moves rapidly to one side when performing the next step, press the Stop button immediately. • Turn on the treadmill. With the treadmill speed between 6-8 mph, stand behind the treadmill and watch the movement of the running belt. As you watch the running belt, make sure that the belt runs without moving from one side to the other and that the belt is centered between the side rails.
  • Page 12 Tensioning the Drive Belt (1.1T, 2.1T, 3.1T) Procedure: Turn off the power to the treadmill and remove the power cord from the wall outlet. With a Philips head screwdriver, remove the motor cover. Unplug the motor wires from the lower board.

    1. The first way is to count the running belt revolutions per minute. At 0.5 mph, the treadmill belt should make 4 revolutions/minute for the 5.1T treadmill and 4.5 revolutions per minute for the 4.1T, 3.1T & 2.1T, 1.1T treadmills. If the belt revolutions are incorrect, adjust the speed dial located on the lower control board.
  • Page 48 The IR comp dial should only need to be adjusted if the treadmill belt is running in a jerky or choppy motion. To adjust the IR comp, turn the dial clockwise (to increase voltage to motor) or counterclockwise (to decrease voltage to motor). To verify proper adjustment, start the treadmill at 0.5 mph and ride the treadmill belt from the front to rear roller.
