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
8mm 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.
Note: Adjustment is through small hole in the end cap.
Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller.
Turn the treadbelt 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 over tighten
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.
