Be sure not to touch a moving walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders and children away from the product you are
servicing at all times.
2.
Use a 6 mm hex key to turn the right and left belt adjustment bolts clockwise a 1/2 turn, first one bolt and then the other bolt.
3.
After you adjust each side the 1/2 turn, start the belt and do a test to see if the belt stopped slipping. If the belt still slips, return to step 1 and
repeat the procedure.
If you turn one side more than the other, the belt will move away from that side of the treadmill and may need realignment.
NOTICE: Too much tension on the belt causes unnecessary friction and wears the belt, motor and electronics.
4.
Push PAUSE/STOP twice to stop the walking belt and end the Quick Start workout.

Aligning the Walking Belt

Be sure not to touch a moving walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders and children away from the product you are

Push PAUSE/STOP twice to stop the walking belt and end the Quick Start workout.

Lubricating the Walking Belt

Your treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. The Walking Belt is pre-lubricated. Belt friction can affect the function and
life of the machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use, silicone will
dissipate and the belt will dry out. For the best results lubricate the deck periodically with 100% silicone lubricant, using the following instructions:
