PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the
k
ey and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the
walking belt has shifted to the left, use the hex
k
ey to turn the left idler roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a
turn; if the walking belt has shifted to the right,
turn the bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be
careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Then,
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-
ing belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first re-
move the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
Using the hex key, turn both idler roller bolts clock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is cor-
rectly tightened, you should be able to lift each side
of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the
walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking
belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert
the key, and carefully walk on the treadmill for a
few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is prop-
erly tightened.
