How To... Adjust Striding Belt Tracking
Special Service Tools Required: NONE
IMPORTANT: It is CRITICAL that the treadmill
be correctly leveled prior to any tracking
adjustments. An unstable unit can cause
Striding Belt misalignment. To level and
stabilize the unit, refer to instructions on
"How To...Replace The Leveler Assembly" in
this section.
1. After the treadmill has been installed and
leveled, the belt must be checked to confirm
proper tracking.
2. Turn the unit ON and set the main motor speed to 2.5 mph.
NOTE: Refer to SYSTEM TEST MENU for Main Motor Test selection and SPEED AUTOMATIC MODE on how to
set its speed in Section 2 of this manual.
3. With the belt operating at specified speed,
note its tracking. If the belt moves to the right,
turn the right tensioning bolt 1/4 turn
counterclockwise to bring the belt back to
center. If the belt moves to the left, turn the
left tensioning bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and
then turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn
counterclockwise to bring the belt back to
center.
If the STRIDING BELT has moved to the right,
turn the right TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn clockwise
and the left TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise to start the STRIDING BELT tracking
back to the center of the REAR ROLLER.
4. Repeat this adjustment until the Striding Belt appears centered between rollers. Allow the unit to operate for
several minutes to see that the belt remains centered.
NOTE: During the adjustment above, DO NOT exceed one full turn of the Adjusting Screws in either direction.
If the STRIDING BELT has moved to the left, turn
the left TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn clockwise and the
right TENSION BOLT 1/4 turn counterclockwise to
start the STRIDING BELT tracking back to the
center of the REAR ROLLER.
