Walking Belt Tracking; Check And Adjust Belt Tracking - Paramount Fitness 7.55T Owner's Manual

Walking Belt Tracking

Proper belt tracking means that the belt is centered laterally on both the front and
rear roller so that the belt is not shifted to one side. Proper belt tracking ensures
that the belt can cycle smoothly and efficiently. Proper belt tracking is necessary
to ensure safety and to extend the life of the walking belt.
Check Belt Tracking Regularly
The walking belt on the treadmill should be checked routinely to ensure that it is
tracking correctly. Belt tracking should also be adjusted on an as-needed basis.

Check and Adjust Belt Tracking

1. Power up the treadmill. Plug the treadmill in and turn
on treadmill using the power switch, which is located
near the front right corner of the treadmill. Be certain
that the power cord is routed to the front of the tread-
mill and that it is clear of the liftframe. The treadmill will
automatically adjust to its 'home' position.
2. Set the treadmill to slow speed. Press Easy Start
and adjust the speed to 4 mi/h (6.5 km/h).
3. Observe the walking belt in motion. Stand directly
behind the treadmill, looking down at the rear roller.
The walking belt should be centered on the rear roller.
If the rear roller is visible one either side of the walking
belt, the belt tracking needs to be adjusted.
4. If necessary, adjust the belt tracking. To shift the
walking belt to the right, loosen the right retention bolt
(8mm) one eighth-turn, and then tighten the left reten-
tion bolt one eighth-turn. To shift the walking belt to the
left, loosen the left retention bolt one eighth-turn, and
then tighten the right retention bolt one eighth-turn.
Adjust the belt tracking until the belt is centered on the
rear roller.
5. Let the treadmill cycle. Increase the speed to 10 mi/h
(16.1 km/h) and let the treadmill cycle for five minutes.
6. Recheck the belt tracking. After the treadmill has
been cycling for five minutes, observe the tracking of
the walking belt. If the walking belt is not tracking cor-
rectly, adjust the tracking.
