4.6 Belt Adjustment

Belt Tension Adjustment

-It is very important for joggers and runners in order to
provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the right and
left rear roller in order to adjust tension with the Allen Key provided in the parts package.
The adjustment bolt is located at the end of the rails as noted in diagram below:
Left bolt Right bolt
Note: Adjustment is thru small hold of end cap.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both the
right and left bolt clockwise one full turn and inspect for proper tension. When an
adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking adjustment to
compensate for the change in belt tension.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN - Over tighten will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure. This may also reduce motor performance and cause excessive roller wear.
NOTE: When properly tightened, the sides of belt can be raised approximate 2-3 inches off
the board.
