1. Turn the treadmill on. Increase treadmill speed to 3.0 mph (5.0 kph).
2. Adjust tracking by adjusting the tailroller Allen screws (located at the back sides of the tailroller) with a 1/4" Allen
wrench in 1/4-turn increments.
If the running belt is tracking to the left, adjust the running belt to track to the right. Tighten the left tailroller
Allen screw by turning clockwise, or loosen the right tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise.
If the running belt is tracking to the right, adjust the running belt to track to the left. Tighten the right tailroller
Allen screw by turning clockwise or loosen the left tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise.
3. After the running belt appears to be tracking properly, increase the treadmill speed to 10.0 mph (16.0 kph) and
verify that the belt stays centered.
Slipping-Running Belt: Remove the motor shroud and operate the treadmill slowly at 1 to 2 mph (2 to 3 kph). While
observing the headroller, walk on the belt and try to slow it down by gently applying pressure with your feet while holding
the handrails. If only the running belt, and not the headroller, slows down, tighten the running belt by turning both the right
and left tailroller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4-turn. Repeat this adjustment until the running belt no longer slips,
ensuring that you turn both tailroller bolts an equal number of turns. Re-install the motor shroud. If the headroller and the
running belt both slow down, tighten the drive belt as described under “Slipping-Drive Belt”, below.
Thumping: Turn the treadmill off. Turn the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts counter-clockwise with the M6 Allen
wrench until the running belt is loose. Note the number of times each bolt is turned. Remove excess accumulated running
deck wax from the tailroller with a credit card, a putty knife, or other flexible plastic implement. Tighten the running belt by
turning the adjustment bolts clockwise the same number of turns as they were loosened. Turn the treadmill on and check
for sideward movement and/or slipping of the running belt. Tighten the tailroller adjustment bolts further, if necessary, in
1/4-turn increments.
REWAX BELT
Periodic running belt rewaxing virtually eliminates belt down time, and maximizes the life of the belt. Whenever the present
distance is 2000 miles (or 3000 km) more than the LAST DECK (last deck service), the start-up display will scroll REWAX
BELT. This is a reminder to have your maintenance or service provider perform the 5-minute belt rewaxing procedure at
your convenience. (Immediate service is not required). Wax is included in the treadmill.
TOOLS & MATERIALS
Bottle of Wax Powder (1)
Clean Towel (1)
Paint Stick or Ruler (1)
Diluted All-purpose Cleaner (409), or Bristle Brush
PROCEDURE
Apply wax powder while belt & deck are still warm (5 minutes minimum use) for optimum benefit.
1. CAUTION: turn treadmill power off and unplug the power cord before rewaxing the belt.
2. CLEAN DECK & BELT:
A. Using the paint stick or ruler, slide a towel under the middle of the belt from one side of the frame to the other.
B. Hold the edges of the towel; pull to the tailroller; pull to the headroller; then pull the belt down to wipe the
remaining belt. TIP: Fold the dirty towel and shake into trash.
3. LIFT BELT: Lift the left side (facing display) of the belt, about 12 inches down from the motor shroud (see figure).
Hold the belt up to elevate the belt from the deck.
4. SPREAD WAX: Flip the nozzle on the cap of the wax bottle. Point the nozzle at the deck. Be sure that the bottle is
tilted at a downward angle. Squeeze the wax bottle twice between the running belt and the deck. TIP: Gently shake
the bottle between each squeeze.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, about 18 inches from the end of the deck.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5, on the right side of the belt/deck.
7. WALK: Plug in the treadmill. Turn the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Start the treadmill at 1 mph
and walk on all sections of the belt and deck for 1 minute to ensure the wax has been evenly distributed and
worked-in properly.
