2 Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails
and attempt to stall the striding belt. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does not slip,
the tension is correct.

wise for each side. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side.

proper tracking. If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see the topic titled Tracking
(Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt on the previous page.
Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts
may over stretch and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of
either bolt in either direction.
