Tensioning The Belt - Vision Fitness T8100 Owner's Manual

TENSIONING THE BELT

Running Belt
If when you plant your foot on the belt, you can feel a
slipping sensation then the belt has stretched and is slip-
ping across the rollers. This is a normal and common
adjustment on a new treadmill. To eliminate this slipping,
tension both the rear roller Allen bolts 1/4 TURN as
shown above. Try the treadmill again to check for slip-
ping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller
bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. CAUTION: OVER-
TIGHTENING OF THE ROLLER WILL SEVERELY
SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BELT AND MAY CAUSE
FURTHER DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS.
1/4 TURN
Drive Belt
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still
experiencing a slipping sensation, call your Vision
Fitness Dealer. Tensioning of the drive belt should only
be performed by an authorized dealer.
