Chapter Nine
Belt & Deck Adjustments
RUNNING BELT - If belt tracking becomes
necessary. The adjustment bolts are at the tail
roller and require the 1/4" Hex key Driver.
Turning the right bolt clockwise will cause
the belt to move to the left and turning the
bolt counter-clockwise will move the belt to
the right. Adjust one bolt only half a turn at
a time.
Run the belt slowly at 2-3 mph (3.2-4.8
kmph) while adjusting, then run it fast for 30
seconds or more to check the result. Adjust
the belt to ride in the center of the running
surface and motor shroud.
MOTOR BELT - Adjust the motor belt
tension to eliminate slippage. To adjust motor
belt to correct tension: Unplug the unit and
lift off the motor shroud. Loosen the motor
bolts and the tension bolt lock nut. Turn the
tension bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. Tighten
tension bolt lock nut and the motor bolts. Re¬
install the motor shroud and plug the unit in.
RUNNING DECK - The running bed sur¬
face is coated with a special wax. If your
treadmill experiences a "thumping" noice,
remove the accumulated wax on the tailroller.
The procedure to remove the wax is as fol¬
lows:
1. Turn the belt adjustment bolts counter¬
clockwise with a 1/4" Hex Key Drive far
enough to loosen the running belt.
2. Remove the excess wax. DO NOT remove
all the substance, as it is needed to lubricate
the running bed and belt.
3. Turn the belt adjustment bolts clockwise
and adjust the belt to ride in the center of the
running surface and motor shroud. DO NOT
over tighten, as this will distort the shape of
the running belt.
