TREADMILL ADJUSTMENTS

The basic idea behind the manual treadmill is to have the belt running on a tre a dmill board and between two
rollers so that the belt will move without much ef fort. In order for the belt to run smoothly, there are a few
points that need to be noted.
BELT ALIGNMENT
The belt must be in the center of the tre admill to prevent it from rubbing again st the flywheels. If the belt
rubs a flywheel, it will be difficult to keep the belt moving and eventually damage the edge of the belt.
The treadmill has belt guide s welded to the bottom of the tre admill frame that move the belt toward the
center of the treadmill. However, the rear roller must be properly aligned with the treadmill frame and front
roller if the belt is to remain centered on the treadmill.
The bolts in the rear of the treadmill (one on the left and the other on the right) adjust the alignment of the
rear roller as well as the tension of the belt.
The belt will run to the side of the loose rear bolt.
Hint:
Eyeball the re ar roller to ma ke sure both the right side a nd the left side of the roller are the sa me
distance from the ba ck edge of the tre admill. Use the
adjustments. Turn the bolts Clockwise to tighten and Counter-Clockwise to loosen.
BELT DRIFTING LEFT
Turn the left screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE and the right screw 1/4 turn
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, then walk on the treadmill. Repeat if needed.
BELT DRIFTING RIGHT
Turn the left screw 1/4 turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE and the right screw
1/4 turn CLOCKWISE, then walk on the treadmill. Repeat if needed.
NOTE:
When you believe the WALKING BELT is centered, use the tre admill for three (3) minute s to verify the
WALKING BELT won't drift to one side. If the WALKING BELT continues to drift, the floor may not be level.
Rotate the treadmill 90 degrees or move the treadmill to another location.
BELT TENSION
The belt should be tight and not lying on the treadmill board. If the belt is too loose, the belt will sli p on the
front roller and you will notice a jerky movement when you walk on the treadmill. If the belt is too tight, the
edges of the belt will begin to curl and more effort will be required to move the belt. Excessive belt tension
can also damage the bearings in the rollers. The bolts in the rear of the treadmill (one on the left and the
other on the right) adjust the tension of the belt as well as the alignment of the rear roller.
BELT TOO LOOSE:
Tighten both rollers 1/4 turn at a time until the belt stops slipping on the front roller.
BELT TOO TIGHT:
Loosen both rollers 1/2 turn at a ti m e until the belt begins to slip on the front roller. Then use the procedure
above to tighten the belt.
