TENSIONING THE BELT

If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened.
In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common
adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension both the rear roller bolts with the appropriate size allen
wrench, turning it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping.
Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. The belt
tension is set properly when the running belt is 50 - 75mm from the deck.
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TREADMILL FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE UNIT.
CLEANING
General cleaning or the unit will greatly prolong the treadmill. Keep treadmill clean by dusting regularly.
Be sure to clean the exposed part of the deck on either side of the walking belt and also the side rails.
This reduces the build up of foreign material underneath the walking belt.
The top of the belt may be cleaned with a wet, soapy cloth. Be careful to keep liquid away from inside the
motorized treadmill frame or from underneath the belt. Warning： Always unplug the treadmill from the
electrical outlet before removing the motor cover.At least once a year remove the motor cover and
vacuum under the motor cover.
