GENERAL I T
BELT & DECK
Your treadmill
uses a very high-efficient
low-friction
deck. Performance
is maximized
when the
deck is kept as clean as possible.
Use a soft, damp
cloth,
or paper towel, wipe the edge of the
belt and the area between
the belt edge and the frame. Also reach as far as practical
directly
under the belt edge.This
should
be done once a month
to extend
belt and bed life. A mild soap
and water solution
along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured
belt. A//ow
to dry before using.
BELT DUST
This occurs during
normal
break-in
or until the belt stabilizes.
Sometimes
the black dust from
the belt will appear
on the floor behind
the treadmill,
this is normal.
GENERAL CLEAN ING
(Use the chart on Pg. 5 to record your maintenance)
Dirt, dust, and hair can block air inlets and accumulate
on the running
belt. Please vacuum
underneath
your treadmill
on a monthly
basis to prevent
excess build-up
of dirt that can get
sucked
up and get into the inner workings
under the motor
cover. Every other
month,
you
should
remove
the motor
cover and carefully
vacuum
out dirt and hair that may
accumulate.
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT A DJUSTMENTS
Tread-belt
Tension Adjustment
- Belt tension
is not critical
for most users. It is very important
though
for joggers
and runners
in order to provide
a smooth,
steady running
surface.
Adjustment
must be made from the rear roller with the M6 L Allen wrench
(132) provided
in the
parts package.The
adjustment
bolts are located
at the end of the step rails as shown
in the
diagram
below. Note: Adjustment
is through
small hole in end cap.
Tighten
the rear roller only enough
to prevent
slippage
at the front
roller.Turn
the tread-belt
tension
adjusting
bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect
for proper
tension
by walking
on the belt and
making
sure it is not slipping
or hesitating
with
each step. When an adjustment
is made to the belt
tension,
you must be sure to turn the bolts on both
sides evenly or the belt could
start tracking
to one
side instead
of running
in the middle
of the deck.
Note: Adjustment
is through
small hole in end cap.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
- Over tightening
will cause belt damage
and premature
bearing
failure.
If you
tighten
the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem
could
actually
be the drive belt
- located
under the motor
cover - that connects
the motor
to the front
roller. If that belt is loose
it feels similar to the walking
belt being loose.Tightening
the motor
belt should
be done by a
trained
service person.
