6. Remove rear treadbelt roller. The roller is secured by two treadbelt tensioning bolts. Once
bolts have been removed, lift out the roller assembly.
7. Remove the two Allen screws which secure the front treadbelt roller. The screws are located
on the side of the treadmill.
ATTENTION: Si les boutons de sécurité du rouleau sont retirés, le rouleau chutera. Ne oas
oublier que les rouleaux sont lourds.
!
CAUTION: When the bolts securing the roller are removed the roller will drop.
Be aware that the rollers are heavy.
!
8. Remove the running deck. This is done by lifting from the side of the deck and raising the
deck two inches before sliding it out. The running deck is two sided and can be flipped
over and reused once.
9. To remove the treadbelt seven support brackets must be removed. These are comprised of
three angle iron brackets attached by securing nuts, and four running deck support bars
secured by Allen screws. Once all support brackets are removed the treadbelt can be
removed.
10. Tension treadbelt and adjust tracking after you reassemble the treadmill. (See Treadbelt
Adjustment procedure.)
Treadbelt Adjustment
Although the RTM Treadmill incorporates the "Exact Track System," occasional belt adjustments
are still necessary for correct tensioning and tracking.
Tension Adjustment
ATTENTION: Avant de tester la tension du tapis selon la procédure décrite ci-dessons, méttre le
tapis à l'arrêt et déconnecter le câble secteur. Certaines piéces du tapis peuvent entrainer des
!
blessures graves. Ne jamais essayer de déterminer la tension sur le tapis pendant que ce dernier est
en mouvement.
CAUTION: Before testing treadbelt tension as described below, turn the treadmill OFF and unplug
the system. Moving parts on the treadmill can cause serious injury. Do not attempt to determine
!
treadbelt tension while the belt is moving.
The need for tension adjustment is indicated by uneven belt speed or the belt stopping suddenly
upon foot impact. Properly tensioned, the treadbelt will allow the user to slip a hand snugly
under the center of the belt.
Treadbelt tension is adjusted by tightening or loosening the two hex-head, 9/16, bolts at the end
of the treadmill frame. The bolts should be adjusted in 1/4-turn increments, exactly the same
amount, in the same direction. Turn both bolts clockwise to tighten the belt. Turn both bolts coun-
terclockwise to loosen the belt. Failure to turn both bolts equally may affect tracking. One quick
test is to apply hand heel strikes and observe if belt momentarily stops.
