5. Use a belt tension measuring tool to measure the belt tension. The belt tension must be in the range of
150 to 180 pounds. A Krikit is used in the picture below to measure belt tension. When using a Krikit or
similar device, measure the tension mid-span of the belt on the bottom span of belt.
Note: Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on to properly measure belt tension with the chosen
belt tension measuring device.
6. If the belt tension is below 150 pounds of tension, then the belt must be tightened.
7. To increase the belt tension, tighten the die spring nut shown in the picture below. Make small
adjustments while stopping to measure belt tension in order to avoid over tighten the belt.
8. In the rare event of the belt being stretched beyond adjustment, replace the belt. Contact Star Trac
customer support for directions on how to replace a belt.
