Common Service Procedures

Walking Belt Tension

The walking belt tends to stretch slightly with use, thus it may

need to be tightened. If the walking belt is too loose, the belt

may stop during operation (running or walking).

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN BELT. Too much tension on the belt

causes unnecessary friction and wears the belt, motor,

rollers and electronics. To make sure the belt tension is

correct, put three ﬁngers under the edge of the stationary

walking belt. You should be able to lift the side of the belt

approximately 2-3 inches (5-7 centimeters).

To Tighten Belt

1. Use the hex key provided with the treadmill. Place

the hex key in the hole in left end cap and into the

socket of the adjustment screw.

2. Turn key one full turn clockwise.

3. Place hex key in hole in right end cap and turn key

one full turn clockwise.

4. Check the tension of the belt.

5. Continue adjusting each side if the belt, back and

forth, until belt tension is correct.

6. Make sure to adjust both sides equally to keep the

belt correctly aligned.

Walking Belt Centering

The walking belt may need to occasionally be centered.

First, check the belt tension. It must be correctly adjusted.

Run the treadmill at about 3.5 mph (6km/h). Place the hex key

through the hole in the left end cap and into the socket of the

adjustment screw.

If Belt Moves to the Right

1. Turn the right adjustment screw 1/2 turn clockwise,

then turn the left adjustment screw 1/2 turn

counterclockwise.

2. If belt does not move, repeat until belt is centered.

3. Recheck the tension of the belt (see above).

If Belt Moves to the Left

counterclockwise, then turn the left adjustment

screw 1/2 turn clockwise.
