Belt Adjustment; Walking Belt Tension - Champion C13F Owner's Manual

BELT ADJUSTMENT

NOTICE: The treadmill should be placed on a level surface. If the treadmill is not
level, the belt will continuously track to the low side of the treadmill.

WALKING BELT TENSION

As walking belts tend to stretch slightly with use, the belt may occasionally need to be tightened.
If belt is too loose, you may find the belt stops while running or walking, while the motor continues
to run. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BELT. This will cause reduced motor performance and roller
damage.
When properly tensioned, you should be able
to lift the side of the belt about 2-3 inches
(5-7.5 centimeters). A quick test for belt tension:
you should be able to fit three fingers under the
edge of the belt.
To tighten belt:
Use allen key provided with the treadmill, place
it in the hole in rear end cap and into the socket
of the adjustment screw. Turn key one full turn
clockwise. Then place allen key in hole in right
end cap and turn key one full turn clockwise.
Check the tension of the belt. Continue back
and forth until belt is at the correct tension.
Make sure to adjust both sides equally to
ensure correct belt alignment.
