DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If you tighten the
belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt - located under the motor cover - that connects
the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor
belt should be done by a trained service person.
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.
