CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at
the factory before it was shipped. At times the
belt can move off-center during shipment. Before
operating the treadmill, make sure the belt is
centered and remains centered to maintain
smooth operation.
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than 1/2 mph
while centering. Keep fingers, hair and clothing
away from belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right
side: With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn
the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 TURN at
a time (using the supplied allen wrench). Check
the belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle
to gauge if more adjustment is needed. Repeat if
necessary, until the belt remains centered during
use.
If the running belt is too far to the left
side: With the treadmill running at 1/2 mph, turn
the right adjustment bolt counter-clockwise 1/4
TURN at a time (using the supplied allen wrench).
Check the belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full
cycle to gauge if more adjustment is needed.
Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains centered
during use.

TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving during
tensioning. Over-tightening the running belt can
cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on
the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In
most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing
the belt to slip. This is a normal and common
adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, TURN THE
TREADMILL OFF and tension BOTH THE REAR ROLLER
BOLTS using the supplied allen wrench, turning them
1/4 TURN to the right as shown. Turn the treadmill
on and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but
NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at
a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping
sensation is gone.
