I have adjusted my walkking belt on the Proform model C42 as far as I can by using the adjuster at the back of the machine and belt still slips. Any thing else I can do other than buying a new walking belt?

To fix a slipping walking belt on a Pro-Form C42 treadmill without buying a new belt:

1. Remove the key and unplug the power cord.
2. Use an Allen wrench to turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4 turn to tighten the belt.
3. Check the belt tension by lifting each side of the belt; it should lift 2–3 inches off the walking platform.
4. Ensure the belt is centered.
5. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
6. Repeat the adjustment if the belt still slips.

If the problem continues, contact customer service.
