CAUTION
Take special care when aligning the running belt. The
treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes
caught in the belt or rollers. Turn OFF the treadmill while
adjusting or working near the rear roller. DO NOT wear
loose clothing or allow your hair to hang loose during
this procedure. DO NOT adjust the running belt when
someone is standing on it. Keep your fingers and any
other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in
front of the roller and behind the deck.
IMPORTANT
Make all belt adjustments on the adjusting bolts at the rear
corners of the treadmill using the hex key provided, and DO
NOT turn either bolt more than ¼ turn before checking the
alignment of the running belt again. Overtightening the
adjusting bolts can damage the treadmill.
To adjust the running belt:
1. Locate the adjusting bolt in the right side end cap at the rear
corner of the treadmill (Figure 1).
Figure 1
2. Use the hex key to tighten the adjusting bolt in the direction that
the belt is shifting. Turn the bolt ¼ turn clockwise.
If the belt...
Continues to shift in the general
direction
Starts to shift in the opposite
direction
3. Recheck the belt position as described in Check the alignment of
the running belt.
NOTE
If the belt slips after you have adjusted it, tighten the
adjusting bolt evenly, ¼ turn at a time, until the slipping
stops. DO NOT overtighten the belt.
Then...
Turn the same adjusting bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise
Turn the same adjusting bolt 1/8 turn or
less counterclockwise
