S-DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENTS

S-DRIVE BELT TENSIONING
The running belt should be under enough tension that it does not slip around the rollers while the resistance is
set to max. The two 8 mm hex bolts in the end caps adjust the rear roller position. To move the roller out (closer
to you), turn both clockwise. This will add tension to the belt. In turn, adjusting the two bolts counterclockwise,
will move the roller in, removing tension from the belt. Adjust each bolt the same amount of turns to keep the
belt centered on the deck. Make ¼ to ½ turns at a time when adjusting.
TESTING TENSION
1. Adjust both brake controls to maximum resistance.
2. Use the lower handlebars and push the belt (sled position).
3. If the belt slips, tension should be added ¼ turn at a time using the rear roller bolts.
4. Repeat until the belt no longer slips.

S-DRIVE BELT ALIGNMENT
The two 8 mm bolts in the end caps adjust the rear roller position. To align the belt to the center of the deck, turn
the bolt on the side that the belt moved clockwise. In other words, if you want to move the belt to the right, turn
the left bolt counterclockwise . ¼ –½ turns will move the belt quite a bit.
TESTING ALIGNMENT
1. Walk on the belt while you watch to see if it drifts to one side.
• If yes, adjust the roller bolt/s as described above, then repeat step 1.
• If no, belt is aligned.
Note: Check the belt tension when aligning.
