Do not ove_ighten the walking heft. Be not torque adj_stment screws beyond _ in@s {9 N-M}. 0ve_ightening
reduces the beff life and may damage the rolbr bearings.
Adjusting Belt Tension
Adiust the heft tension whenever the heft s_ipsor moves
unsteadily during operatiom
1.Loosen the _o adiustment bolts (See Rgore 1}.
2.With the w'a[k#_g bek loose, place two marks 35 inches
(89 cm} apa_ on each side of the heft near the edge,
The belt must be loose enough for you to move it from
side-to-side on the front or rear ro_ler(See Figure 2}.
3. Turn the adiusting bolts cbckwise in equa_amounts
until the marks are be_een S5o_q6 inches and 35°d16
inches a£art, Proper tension for the walking heft is
between .5%-.6%. This equaB six fu]_turns of each
adiustment heft from the point where the belt begins to
stretch.
NOTICE: #o not exceed 35o5/16inches,
4.Test the belt by running on the belt at about 4 mph.
Hold the handrail lightly arid resist the belt movement
with your feel
Bo not ose a_lyour weight to resist the beff movement.
Too much resistance applied too bng (more than two
seconds) may shut down the system. {Various error
messages show on the display if this occurs, Cycle
power to resume normal operation.)
5. ff you feel the boutslip on the,front rotle_, increase
the tension of each adjo£ment bolt by 1/2turn.
Then rete£. If you fee_the holt sli_ agai_s,check the
