Belt Tension Check – From the belt’s midpoint, a correctly tensioned belt should only have two inches of give.
Keep bystanders and children away from the product during this procedure.
To check, pull the belt upward at its midpoint and measure the distance to the deck. If the distance is more than two
inches, the belt is loose. To tighten, turn both walking belt adjustment bolts clockwise a half turn and check tension
again. Repeat this step if necessary.
Note: Bolts are turned counterclockwise equally to decrease belt tension.
