Locate the drive belt adjustment screw (item 2 in fig 8) in the lower front
end of the treadmill. Insert the allen wrench into the drive belt adjustment
screw and turn the screw 1/2 turn clockwise.
Step Four: (figure 7)
Complete the adjustment by tightening the four motor mount
screws (item 1 in fig 7).
Step Five:
Walk on the treadmill to determine if the slippage is decreased or
eliminated.
Step Six:
Figure 8
If no improvement is observed, the hesitation may be caused by a loose
tread belt - see "Tread belt tension adjustment" below. If improvement is
noticed but slippage is still present, repeat steps 2 through 5. If you tighten the drive belt adjustment screw 1 1/2 turns and there is still
hesitation (slippage) contact your authorized PaceMaster dealer. Tightening the drive belt adjustment screw more than 1 1/2 turns can
result in bearing damage to the motor and/or drive roller.
