Tracking (Centering) A Striding Belt
Two people are needed to perform this procedure.
1. Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.
2. One person stands on the side rails of the treadmill and straddles the belt. This person presses GO and sets
the belt speed to 2.5 MPH (4.0 KPH).
3. If the striding belt has moved to the right, the second person turns the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise
and then turns the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to
the center of the roller. If the striding belt has moved to theleft, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise
and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to
the center of the roller.
Note: If the striding belt has moved as far as to the edge of the roller (either right or left side), it must
be re-centered per the above procedure.
4. Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for
several minutes at 4.0 MPH. (6.4 KPH) to observe if tracking remains stabilized.
Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn the belt
does not track properly, contact Cybex International, Inc. Customer Support. Do not overtighten the
tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Overtightening of bolts may over stretch and damage
the striding belt or roller.
Tensioning an Existing Striding Belt
1. Press GO and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 MPH (8.0 KPH).
Note: Do not run or walk on belt!
2. Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with
feet on the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to
Step 3. If it does not slip, the tension is correct.
3. Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.
4. Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side
when adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.
5. Press GO, operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) and check to insure proper tracking (see Tracking
(Centering) A Striding Belt). If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see Centering an Existing or New Striding
Belt .
Do not overtighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Overtightening of bolts may over
stretch and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either
direction.
Service Wheel (optional)
A service wheel lever is located at the rear end of the unit. This lever will engage a wheel and elevate the rear end
of the unit. The treadmill can then be easliy moved for cleaning or servicing.
Warning: Shock and electrocution hazard.
Unplug unit and let sit 10 minutes before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Electrical charge can remain in unit after unplugging.
Keep water and liquids away from electrical parts.
