CLEANING
Remove dust on the treadmill with vacuum or slightly damp cloth. Fold up the deck and clean
the floor with vacuum periodically will help to prolong the treadmill product life.
NEVER use solvents on the deck or running belt. Use of solvents can reduce critical lubrication
of the deck and belt.
RUNNING BELT CENTERING ADJUSTMENT:
When you run or walk, you may push off harder with one foot than the other. This will cause the
running belt to run off center. This treadmill is designed and built to ensure proper tracking of the
belt is always centered on the deck. Occasionally the belt may need further adjustment to keep it
centered. To center the belt, use the enclosed Allen wrench to adjust the rear roller position.
BELT CENTERING PROCEDURES:
1. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neckties or loose jewelry while making this adjustment.
2. NEVER turn the bolt more than 1/4 turn at a time.
3. Always tighten one side and loosen the other to prevent over tightening or over loosening the
belt.
4. Run the treadmill. Adjust belt while the treadmill is running at 4 Mi/H (6.4 Km/H) with no
person on the belt.
After making the adjustment, walk on the belt for five minutes to test. If necessary, repeat the
procedure but NEVER turn the bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Over tightening the belt can
significantly shorten the belt life.
IF BELT TOO FAR TO THE LEFT SIDE:
1. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)
2. Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)
IF BELT TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE:
1. Turn the right roller bolt 1/4 turn clockwise (tighten)
2. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen)
RUNNING BELT TENSIONING ADJUSTMENT:
If you place your feet on the belt and feel a slipping sensation, then the belt has stretched and is
slipping across the rollers. All belts will stretch over time. This is a normal and common
DANGER!
To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, always
unplug the treadmill
from the electrical outlet
immediately after use
and before cleaning.
CAUTION!
Over tightening of the
belt will severely shorten
the life of the belt and
may cause further
damage to other
components.
