Drive Belt Tension and Alignment Adjustment

About

This procedure provides instruction to verify and make adjustments to the Drive Belt tension
and alignment for both the legacy frame and common frame treadmills. The Drive Belt align-
ment and tension should be verified anytime the Drive Belt is removed or when unusual belt
noises are heard during normal operation.
There are separate procedures for the legacy and common frame machines (see
Operation" on page 283), The new common frame has improved the drive belt adjustment
process by adding a drive belt adjustment bolt mechanism. The new procedure is faster,
easier, and less prone to error.
IMPORTANT: This procedure assumes that the Drive Belt is installed, see
Belt Replacement" on
