Treadbelt Tracking Adjustment - Spirit XT485 Owner's Manual

TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use.
It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user's gait
and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side,
adjustments are necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided for this
adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the
left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph ( 5 kmph).
Be aware that a small adjustment can make a
dramatic difference which may not be apparent
right away. If the belt is too close to the left
side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the
right (clockwise) and wait a few minutes for the
belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes
in the center of the running deck. If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt
counter-clockwise. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and
walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make
adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a
maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
