ENTERING HE ELT
After the treadmill has been installed and leveled, the belt
must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, plug the
power cord into a suitable outlet. See the topic titled Electrical
Requirements, which appears earlier in this section, for
details. Then, turn the treadmill ON.
Stand on the siderails of the treadmill and straddle the belt.
Press the START key and increase the speed to 4.0-mph
(6.4 kph) using the SPEED UP ARROW key.
If the striding belt moves to the right, turn the right tension bolt
(D) a quarter-turn clockwise with provided quarter-inch Allen
wrench, and then turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn
counter-clockwise (see figure). This sets the striding belt track-
ing back to the center of the roller.
If the striding belt moves to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt
a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to the center of the roller.
Repeat adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. The belt should be centered on the roller with an equal dis-
tance on both sides from belt to roller. Allow the machine to continue running for several minutes to observe if the track-
ing remains stabilized.
NOTE: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction.If, after one full turn, the belt does not track
properly, contact Customer Support Services. The phone numbers are listed in Section 5.4, titled How to Obtain Product
Service.
