6.2 Speed calibration For Calibration of the Speed from the Valiant treadmill you can use a Tachometer which can directly measure the speed at the walking belt. A cheaper and even accurate method for calibration of the speed of the treadmill is counting the revolutions of the belt.
Page 43
Readjusting the speed: 1. Switch off the valiant and remove the front cover, see for instructions in this service manual 2. Switch the Valiant to “standby” 3. Switch the relay on by pushing the switch to “1” (see fig.1) and hold it in this position. Fig 1 4.

6.3 Grade calibration Calibration procedure grade You can follow the procedure for the grade calibration during maintenance. The grade should be within 1%, If the grade of the Valiant is not within specifications, check if the grade motor and grade potentiometer are working properly and make sure there is no obstruction in its way up or down.

But it can also be done as follows: You can measure the height at a certain point (o) After that you can measure the length (a) on the floor. The grade can be calculated as follows: Service manual Valiant treadmill V1.00...
6.4 Walking belt tension The walking belt can be tightened by means of the two outmost socket screws placed on the feed at the end of the frame: First decrease the tension on the walking belt fully by turning both tightener socket screws anti-clockwise.
6.5 Walking belt alignment The alignment of the walking belt is correct when the belt runs in the middle of the supporting plate. The walking belt alignment can be adjusted by means of the socket screw located at the left side of foot at the end from the frame. Set for a speed of approx.
6.6 Motor belt tension The tension of the motor belt can be checked by pulling the belt up and down in the middle between both pulleys. The full stroke must be about 10 mm. To change the tension of the belt remove the locking nut on the spanner socket screw of the motor belt.
6.7 Inclination system Remove the cover of the motor drive unit. Loosen the socket screw of the mounting bracket of the elevation feedback potentiometer. Turn the gear wheel of the potentiometer away from the driven gear wheel. Switch on the main supply, the inclination system will move to the lowest position and you must switch the main power supply OFF BEFORE the wheels contact the housing.
