How To... Adjust the Striding Belt Tracking


Special Service Tools Required: None


IMPORTANT - It is critical that the treadmill be
level prior to any tracking adjustments. An
unstable or leaning unit can cause the striding belt
to drift to one side. Refer to “How To…Remove
the Leveler Assembly”.

1. Turn unit power ON and use the SPEED

AUTOMATIC mode to set the belt speed to
2.5 mph.


2. Check the belt tracking at 2.5 mph speed. If

the belt is offset to the right, turn the right
tensioning bolt clockwise and the left
tensioning bolt counterclockwise the same amount to bring the belt back to a center position. If the belt is offset
to the left, turn the left tensioning bolt clockwise and the right tension bolt counterclockwise the same amount to
bring the belt back to a center position.


NOTE: Adjust tensioning bolts in 1/8 turn increments.

3. If the striding belt has moved to the right,

turn the right tension bolt 1/8 turn clockwise
and the left tension bolt 1/8 turn counter-
clockwise to start moving the striding belt
back to the center of the rear roller.


4. If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn

the left tension bolt 1/8 turn clockwise and
the right tension bolt 1/8 turn
counterclockwise to start moving the striding
belt back to the center of the rear roller.


5. Repeat this adjustment until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the unit to operate for several minutes to

see that the belt remains in the centered position.


NOTE: During the adjustment do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction to avoid
significant changes in belt tension.
