Belt Adjustments
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for
most users. It is very important though for joggers and runners
in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface.
Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6mm
Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment
bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the
diagram below.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the
front roller. Turn the tread-belt tension adjusting bolts 1/4
turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt
and making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with each step.
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must be
sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt could
start tracking to one side instead of running in the middle of
the deck.
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.
