b. Start the treadmill at 3.0 mph.
c. Stomp down hard on the running belt with one foot. You should be able to make the running
belt hesitate slightly.
d. If you cannot make the running belt hesitate, it is too tight. Loosen the rear roller screws
(turn counter-clockwise) by ½ turn or less on each side and retest.
e. If you can make the running belt stop or hesitate for more than a fraction of a second, it is too
loose. Tighten the rear roller screw by ½ turn or less on each side and retest.
1) Remove the front plastic motor cover, and vacuum the entire inside area of the machine – be careful when
working around the lower control board not to bump any wires or connections loose.
2) With the motor cover off, check the drive belt for visible wear, i.e., cracking, tears, etc. The drive belt should
be replaced if there are any visible signs of damage. Also check the alignment of the drive belt. The drive
belt should be aligned with the front roller pulley (Figure 5). Adjust the motor as needed to resolve alignment
issues, the motor mounting screws holes are slotted (Figure 6).
3) With the motor cover off, start the treadmill and raise the incline setting to the maximum height. Turn the
power switch off at the front of the machine to prevent it from lowering accidentally. Lubricate the incline
motor Acme screw (Matrix recommends using Superlube brand grease with PTFE {Teflon} additive). Also
lubricate the pins at the junction of the elevation motor and incline rack (Figure 8B).
