Maintenance and Tips

Belt Tensioning

If the belt begins to slip and needs to be tensioned, tension bolts are

accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt, start the

treadmill and set the speed to 3 mph (5 kph).

A. Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the

right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn clockwise.

Test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt slips repeat step A and

test again.

Note: Adjusting one side more than the other will cause the belt to

drift to the side of the treadmill and will require belt alignment. Check

to be sure the running belt is still aligned. If belt alignment is off as

shown below, refer to Belt Alignment section.

CAUTION: DO NOT tighten more than 2 full turns on each side.

Over tensioning the belt can cause unnecessary friction and wear

and tear on the belt, motor and electronics.

Belt Alignment

A. Press Start, then increase the treadmill speed to 3 mph (5 kph).

Stand behind the treadmill to see which way the belt is drifting.

C. If the belt drifts to the left, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn

clockwise and the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.

(See FIG. 1)

D. If the belt drifts to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt 1/4 turn

counter-clockwise and the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise.

(See FIG. 2)
