How To... Replace the Drive Motor Belt
Special Service Tools Required: NONE
1. Turn the unit power OFF at the Switch, and then
unplug the line cord at the wall outlet.
2. Remove the inside Upright Covers, Front Cover, and
Motor Cover. See "How To..." in this section.
3. Loosen the Rear Roller Adjusting Screws to slacken
the Striding Belt enough to allow side-to-side
movement of the Front Roller.
Note: Index the initial position of the Adjusting Screw or
count the number of rotations when loosening the Roller
Adjusting Screws for proper Striding Belt re-tensioning.
4. Remove two screws securing the Anti-Static Brush
Bracket just behind the Front Roller Pulley to
avoid being damaged during roller removal.
5. Remove the mounting bolt securing the end of the
Front Roller Shaft on the left side of the Frame.
6. Loosen the tension on the Drive Motor Belt by inserting a flat
blade screwdriver into the slotted end of the Idler Arm. Raise
the Idler Arm just enough to install an Allen wrench into the
Access Hole in the Idler Arm to keep it in a raised position.
CAUTION: DUE TO EXTREME SPRING TENSION, DO NOT
RAISE THE IDLER ARM ANY HIGHER THAN NECESSARY.
