TROUBLESHOOTING (cont'd)

Noises

A Clicking, Rubbing or Grinding noise is present while the tread belt is moving.
Remove all items from the cup holders on either side of the display
Visually confirm that NO foreign objects (children's toys, pet's toys, etc...) are underneath, on top of, or against the treadmill.
With the tread belt stopped visually check to see if the tread belt is reasonable centered, if it is not please refer to "centering the tread belt"
under the maintenance section of this manual.
Hesitation of the Tread belt
Hesitation of the tread belt usually indicates slippage of either the tread belt (the belt you walk on) or the drive belt (the belt connecting the
drive roller to the motor). To determine which of these belts is slipping, first adjust the drive belt tension and test to see if the slippage
stops. If the hesitation is not corrected than the tread belt tension needs adjustment.
CAUTION: Unplug your treadmill before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

Drive Belt Tension Adjustment

Step One:
1
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 2 screws that hold the front of the
motor cover in place and remove the motor cover.
Step Two: (figure 7)
Locate the four motor mount screws (item 1 in fig 7) as shown in the diagram
and loosen them each two turns each using a 3/16" allen wrench.
