Tensioning The Running Belt - Tempo Fitness T941 User Manual

TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT

The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving during
tensioning. Over-tightening the running belt can
cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the
treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most
cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the
belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment.
To eliminate this slipping, TURN THE TREADMILL OFF
and tension BOTH THE REAR ROLLER BOLTS using the
supplied Allen wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the
right as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for
slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the
roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly
tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.

CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment. Before operating the
treadmill, make sure the belt is centered and remains
centered to maintain smooth operation.
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than
1 mph (1.5 km/h) while centering. Keep fingers, hair
and clothing away from belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right side:
With the treadmill running at 1 mph (1.5 km/h) ,
turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 TURN at
a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the
belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if
more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until
the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side:
With the treadmill running at 1 mph (1.5 km/h) , turn
the right adjustment bolt counter-clockwise 1/4 TURN
at a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the
belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if
more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until
the belt remains centered during use.
