2.4 ADJUSTING THE BELT

After placing the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be

checked for proper tension and centering. The belt might need to be

adjusted after the first two hours of use. Temperature, humidity, and use

cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt starts to slip when a

user is on it, be sure to follow the directions below.

Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill.

The bolts are located at each end of the frame at the back of

the treadmill. These bolts adjust the rear belt roller. Do not

adjust until the treadmill is on. This will prevent over

tightening of one side.

The belt should have equal distance on either side between

the frame. If the belt is touching one side, do not start the

treadmill. Turn the bolts counter clockwise approximately one

full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing

the belt from side to side. Tighten the bolts the same amount

as when the user loosened them, approximately one full turn.

Inspect the belt for damage.

While the treadmill is running at 3 mph, observe the belt

position. If it is moving to the right, tighten the right bolt by

turning it clockwise ¼ turn, and loosen the left bolt ¼ turn.

If it is moving to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it

clockwise ¼ turn and loosen the right ¼ turn. Repeat Step 3

until the belt remains centered for several minutes.

Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very snug.

When a person walks or runs on the belt, it should not

hesitate or slip. If this occurs, tighten the belt by turning

both bolts clockwise ¼ turn. Repeat if necessary.
