An incorrect machine leveling on the contact points or weight and running styles differences
can produce the running belt to shift sideways.
Needed tool:
- Allen Wrench 5mm

CASE 1:
BELT OFFSET TO THE LEFT
Set the unit in motion at a speed of 3km/h, if the belt has moved to the left, turn screw(L) on the left-hand side
of the machine a 1/2 turn clockwise.
Look at the position of the belt. If after one or two minutes the belt is not totally centered, please repeat the
procedure.
Once the belt is adjusted, you can start the workout again.
If the belt has excessively moved to the right, turn screw(L) on the left-hand side of the machine a 1/2 turn
anticlockwise.
Look at the position of the belt. If after one or two minutes the belt is not totally centered, please repeat the
procedure.
CASE 2:
BELT OFFSET TO THE RIGHT
If the belt has moved to the right, turn screw(R) on the right-hand side of the machine a 1/2
turn clockwise.
Look at the position of the belt. If after one or two minutes the belt is not totally centered,
please repeat the procedure.
If the belt has excessively moved to the left, turn screw(R) on the right-hand side of the machine a 1/2 turn
anticlockwise.

CASE 3:
BELT LOOSE
After loosening the belt for lubrication, you will need to adjust the tension of belt to suitable
state. The belt may come to be loose after long use as well.
How to test if the belt is loose:
Set the unit in motion at a speed of 3km/h, and put one foot on the running belt and try to get the running belt to
stall, when it stalls you can hear the front roller is still slipping which indicates that the running belt is too
loose(the ideal scenario is that the belt is tight enough so that when you trying to stall the running belt, the front
roller not slipping). When the belt is loose, there will be loud noise because the slipping front roller rubbing the
stopped belt. In this case, you need to tighten the belt to increase the tension.
