TRACKMASTER
Note: Uneven floors accelerate belt misalignment. This situation may
require larger and more frequent adjustments to prevent belt damage.
Note: When adjusting belt misalignments make sure V-Guide is not riding
up on the front and rear roller.

Belt Tension Adjustment

The running belt may stretch and loosen with regular use. This looseness is noticeable when
the belt tends to hesitate or stick. If the belt is loose and slipping, see illustration below.
1. Turn the treadmill's power switch to ON.
2. Start treadmill and increase to 1 mph
3. Start walking on the treadmill, grab handrail and apply pressure with your foot to
create resistance on running belt.
4. If running belt start slipping on front drive roller, tighten both tension bolts ½ turn
(Clockwise).
5. Repeat steps 2 thru 4 until running belt stop slipping.
Note: When running belt is to tight the edge of belt will curl causing
premature running belt failure.
