ADJUSTMENTS
ALIGNING THE RUNNING BELT_
The running belt should remain centered on the J550 at all
times. Running style and a non-level surface are two of the
factors that can cause the belt to drift at times. Minor adjust¬
ments to the two bolts at the back of the treadmill arc necessary
when the belt has drifted off center.
STEP I
Turn the power switch on and increase the treadmilTs
speed to 3 m.p.h. (5 k.p.h.).
Stand at the back of the treadmill and determine to
which side the belt is drifting.
If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment
bolt one-eighth of a turn clockwise
the right
adjustment bolt one—eighth turn counter-clockwise.
(See FIG. 12)
STEP^
If the belt drifts to the right, turn the right adjust¬
ment bolt one-eighth of a turn clockwise and the left
adjustment bolt one—eighth turn counter-clockwise.
(See FIG. 13)
Stand at the back of the treadmill and observe the
tracking of the belt for two to three minutes.
^^^^6
Repeat STEPS 3, 4, and 5 until the running belt is
centered and tracking properly.
ADJUSTING RUNNING BELT TENSION_
'Fhe belt must be tensioned if it begins to slip on the rollers.
In normal use, however, keep the belt as loose as possible!
The belt tension is adjusted by turning the same screws as used
for aligning the running belt.
1
Adjust the treadmill's speed to 3 m.p.h. (5 k.p.h.).
STEP 2
Turn both adjustment screws an equal amount,
approximately one—eighth turn clockwise,
STEP
3
Try to slow the belt by holding onto the handrails
and ''braking" as you walk, (as if you were walking
downhill).WKen braking heavily the belt may slip.
^^^^4
If the belt slips, turn another one—eighth turn and
repeat Step 3-
