Maintenance and Tips
Moving the Treadmill
A. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is turned OFF and the power cord is
removed from the wall.
B. Make sure nothing is on or near your treadmill which might spill, be
knocked off , or prevent the treadmill from moving.
C. Place both hands under the support bar located under the back of the
running belt to make sure you have a solid lifting point.
D. Lift the back of the treadmill and roll to the desired location.
CAUTION: When lifting, use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques.
Bend your knees and elbows, keep your back straight and pull up evenly with
both arms.
Belt Tensioning
If the belt begins to slip and needs to be tensioned, there are tension bolts
that are accessible from the back of the treadmill. Before tensioning the belt,
start the treadmill and set the speed to 3 mph (5 kph).
A. Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, included in your hardware bag, turn the
right and left tension bolts 1/2 turn clockwise.
B. Test to see if the slipping is eliminated. If the belt slips repeat step A and
test again.

Note: Adjusting one side more than the other will cause the belt to
drift to the side of the treadmill and will require belt alignment. Check
to be sure the running belt is still aligned. If belt alignment is off as
shown below refer to Belt Alignment section.
