5.4 How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt on the
Life Fitness 9000 Treadmill
Do not move treadmill or place your hands under treadmill while it is
plugged into an electrical outlet!
The Life Fitness treadmill has access holes in the end caps which allow access to the
tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust tracking and centering of
the striding belt without removing the end caps.
NOTE: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any
tracking adjustments. An unstable unit may cause striding belt misalignment. see "how
to level the Life Fitness treadmill" prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.
Before proceeding, it is helpful to
visualize the REAR ROLLER pivot
point. Each adjustment made to
one side of the ROLLER must be
met with an equal and opposite
adjustment to the other side of the
ROLLER to maintain an ideal belt
tension at the pivot point.

Step 1
