You may need to adjust the runnin belt durin the first few weeks of use. All runnin belts are properly
set at the factory. It may stretch of be off center after use. Stretchin is normal durin the break-in period.
Adjusting the belt tension:
If the runnin belt feels as thou h it is “slippin ” or hesitatin when you plant you foot durin a run, the
tension on the runnin belt may have to be increased.
To increase the running belt tension:
1. Place a wrench on the left belt tension bolt. Turn the wrench clockwise 1/2 turn to draw the rear roller
and increase the belt tension.
2. Repeat STEP 1 for the ri ht belt tension bolt. You must be sure to turn both bolts the same number of
turns, so the rear roller will stay square relative to the frame.
3. Repeat STEP 1 and STEP 2 until the slippin is eliminated.
4. Be careful not to ti hten the runnin belt tension too much as you can create excessive pressure on the
front and rear roller bearin s. An excessively ti htened runnin belt may dama e the roller bearin s that
would result in bearin noise from the front and rear rollers.
To decrease the tension on the running belt, turn both bolts counter-clockwise the same number of
turns. .
Centring the running belt
When you run, you may push off harder with one foot than with another. The severity of the deflection
depends on the amount of force that one foot exerts in the relation to the other. This deflection can cause
the belt to move off-center. This deflection is normal and the runnin belt will centre when no body is on
the runnin belt. If the runnin belt remains consistently off-center, you will need to centre the runnin
belt manually.
1. Start the treadmill without anyone on the runnin belt, press [SPEED UP] button until speed reached
6kph.
2. Observe whether the runnin belt is toward the ri ht or left side of the deck.
a) If toward the left side of the deck: Usin wrench, turn the left adjustment bolt clockwise 1/2 turn and
the left adjustment bolt counter clockwise 1/2.
b) If toward the ri ht side of the deck:
c) If the belt is still not centered, repeats the above steps until the runnin belt is on center.
3. After the belt is centered, increase the speed to 12 kph and verify that it is runnin smoothly. Repeat the
above steps if it is necessary. If the above procedure is unsuccessful in resolvin the off-center, you may
need to increase the belt tension.
