Adjusting the belt tension
If the running belt feels as though it is slipping or hesitating when you
plant you foot during a run, the tension on the running belt may have to be
increased.
To increase the running belt tension:
1. Place 8mm wrench on the left belt tension bolt. Turn the wrench clockwise
1/4 turn to draw the rear roller and increase the belt tension.
2. Repeat STEP 1 for the right belt tension bolt. You must be sure to turn
both bolts the same number of turns, so the rear roller will stay square
relative to the frame.
3. Repeat STEP 1 and STEP 2 until the slipping is eliminated.
4. Be careful not to tighten the running belt tension too much as you can
create Excessive pressure on the front and rear roller bearings. An
excessively tightened running belt may damage the roller bearings that
would result in bearing noise from the front and rear rollers.
To decrease the running belt tension:
To reduce the tension on the treadmill, turn both screws counterclockwise the
same number of times.
Centring the running belt
When you run, you may push off harder with one foot than with another. The
severity of the deflection depends on the amount of force4 that one foot
exerts in the relation to the other. This deflection can cause the belt to move
off- centre. This deflection is normal and the running belt will centre when no
body is on the running belt. If the running belt remains consistently off-centre,
you will need to centre the running belt manually.
Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press FAST-key until
speed reached 6 km/h. Observe whether the running belt is toward the right
or left side of the deck.
If the running belt is toward the left side:
Turn the left adjustment screw clockwise 1/4 turn with a spanner and the right
adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
If the running belt is toward the right side:
Turn the right adjustment screw clockwise 1/4 turn with a spanner and the left
adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
