Tensioning The Belt; Centering The Belt - Horizon Fitness TREADMILL ELITE Owner's Manual

TENSIONING 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, tension both the rear roller bolts with the appropriate size allen
wrench, turning it 1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping.
Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller
bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. the belt ten-
sion is set properly when the running belt is 1/4
of an inch from the deck.

CENTERING THE BELT

If the running belt is too far to the right side, use the supplied Allen wrench to turn the right tension
bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side, turn the left tension bolt clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until
the belt remains centered during use.
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO THE LEFT
SIDE:
• Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise
(tighten).
IF THE BELT IS TOO FAR TO THE
RIGHT SIDE:
• Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clock-
wise (tighten).
