Tension Adjustment
36
WARNING:
If the Friction Belt (#38) is tightened to an extremely tight/taut setting against the flywheel, you may risk
damaging, over-wearing, over-stressing and/or breaking the Friction Belt (#38).
Please see below for more details to prevent damage and breakage.
1. FOR TENSION ADJUSTMENT:
Simply turn the Tension Control (#36).
• To increase tension (+ higher resistance and more difficult), turn clockwise.
• To decrease tension (- lower resistance and less difficult), turn counter-clockwise.
***WARNING: Please turn the Tension Control (#36) gently. DO NOT use excess force to avoid damaging any parts of
your unit.
2. FOR CALIBRATING TENSION ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM:
• Gently turn Tension Control (#36) counter-clockwise and keep turning until the knob can no longer turn
(i.e. decrease the tension fully).
• Adjust the Friction Belt (#38) so that when you gently tug it out away from flywheel, there is a 1" distance of
slack between the Friction Belt (#38) and the flywheel as shown in diagram.
***WARNING: It is important you check for this minimum of 1-inch distance to avoid damaging, over-wearing,
over-stressing and/or breaking the Friction Belt (#38).
NOTE:
It is normal for the Friction Belt (#38) to periodically loosen due to regular use. Repeat the below process anytime you
feel it may be necessary to recalibrate the tension adjustment system.
