ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT
The treadmill belt comes pre-adjusted from the factory. However, users tend to force the
treadmill belt to one side during the exercise, either with the right foot or the left foot. In
order to correctly adjust it, follow the steps below:
ADJUSTING THE RUNNING BELT TENSIONING
In case of the treadmill belt is "sliding" or wobbling when you
place your foot on it while running, the tension on the

HOW TO INCREASE THE RUNNING BELT TENSION:
1.Place the 6 mm Allen key on the left screw of the running
belt tensioner. Clockwise turn the key 1/4 to press the rear
roller and increase the treadmill bell tension.

2.Repeat STEP1 to give the adequate tension to the right

While running, you tend to step harder with one foot than
you do with the other which impacts on the amount of
moviments the running belt does. This movement may cause
the running belt to move out of its center which is completely
normal. The running belt will be centered when there is no
user on the treadmill. If the running belt remains offset, you
will need to manually center it .

Allen key, turn the left adjustment screw clockwise, and the
right adjustment screw counter-clockwise, 1/4 of a turn

3. Repeat the step above until the running belt is centered.
4. After centering the running belt, speed it up to 13kmph
and check if it is working properly. Repeat the step above if
necessary.
Increasing the running belt tensioning might be necessary if
the above procedures are not successful.
