Tensioning the belt – Vision Fitness T9500 User Manual

TENSIONING THE BELT
Caution:
Over-tightening of the roller will severely shorten the life of the belt and may
cause further damage to other components.
Running Belt:
If when you plant
your foot on the belt,
you can feel a slipping
sensation then the belt
has stretched and is
slipping across the
rollers. This is a
normal and common adjustment on a new treadmill. To eliminate this
slipping, tension both the rear rollers Allen bolts 1/4 TURN as shown above.
Try the treadmill again to check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but
NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time.
Drive Belt:
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still experiencing a
slipping, adjust the tension screw. Then try the treadmill again to check for
slipping.
