TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level
surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt
adjustment may be necessary.
The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for
some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few minutes of
use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt continues to
move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the
left side only. Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small adjustment can
make a dramatic difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4
turn and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust
itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt
stabilizes in the center of the running deck. The belt
may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on use
and walking/running characteristics. Some users
will affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the treadbelt.
Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking
is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.
