TENSIONING THE 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 adjust-
ment. To eliminate this slipping,
tension both the rear roller bolts
with the appropriate size allen
wrench, turning it 1/4 TURN to
the right as shown. Try the tread-
mill again to check for slipping.
Repeat if necessary, but NEVER
TURN the roller bolts more than
1/4 turn at a time. the belt ten-
sion is set properly when the run-
ning belt is 1/4 of an inch from
the deck.
CENTERING THE BELT
If the running belt is too far to the right side, use the supplied Allen wrench to turn the
right tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side, turn the left tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at
a time until the belt remains centered during use.
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO
THE LEFT SIDE:
• Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise (tighten).
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO
THE RIGHT SIDE:
• Turn the right roller bolt 1/4
turn clockwise (tighten).
