MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS....
Following the correct maintenance proceedures helps to avoid costly
repairs and ensures trouble free exercise:
WHEN TO ADJUST THE RUNNING BELT:
• People often ask when to adjust the belt, this largely depends on how often the treadmill is being
used and can be confirmed by literally looking at the belt and checking if the belt looks centered.
The belt should be in the middle of the platform with an even gap either side.
• If one side of the belt is loose then the belt will drift towards the loose side. For example if the belt is
drifting towards the left then you know that the left side needs adjusting.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RUNNING BELT:
• Firstly you need to establish which side needs adjusting.
• If the belt has moved over towards the left then you will need to tighten the left side of the treadmill.
• Locate the relevant tension bolt, in this case it would be the left side (end cap shown in component
guide section above).
• Before you start making any adjustments, make sure the machine is switched on and the treadmill
is running at 3-4 KMH without anyone running on the belt. BE CAREFUL of moving parts and DO
NOT put your fingers near the running belt. REMEMBER to remove any jewelry / loose fitting items
of clothing and tie back any long hair.
• Now using the allen key provided, turn the bolt clockwise by only a small amount (QUARTER TURN).
Once this first adjustment is done, you will need to allow the machine to keep running for a minute
to allow the belt to move over.
• After adjusting the belt, walk or run for a few minutes to test. If the belt is still needs adjusting then
repeat the adjustment procedure again then re test.
