TRACKING (CENTERING) AN EXISTING OR NEW STRIDING BELT
1. Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts (D) on each of the
rear roller guards.
2. Stand on the sides of the treadmill and straddle the belt. Enter the MANUAL
Workout and set the belt speed to run at 4.0 mph (6,4 kph).
3. If the striding belt has moved to the right, turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise with the provided 6mm hex key wrench, and then turn the left ten-
sion bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to start striding belt tracking back to cen-
ter of roller.
4. If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt 1/4 turn
clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to
start striding belt tracking back to center of roller. Repeat adjustments until
the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for
several minutes to observe if tracking remains stabilized.
Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn the belt does not track
properly, contact Customer Support Services.
TENSIONING AN EXISTING STRIDING BELT
Under normal usage, the treadmill striding belt may stretch slightly. If the belt starts to slip during use, take the steps
listed below to correct the tension.
1. Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill.
2. Turn the belt tensioning bolts clockwise a quarter-turn per side to tension the belt. Do not exceed one full turn (four
quarter-turns per side).
3. Set the treadmill at 2.0-mph (3,2 kph) and get on to make sure the belt no longer slips. Also, check the striding belt’s
tracking. If the striding belt drifts to the left or right see Tracking (Centering) an Existing or New Striding Belt.
Note: Do not over-tighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Over-tightening of bolts may over stretch
and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.
6.4 USING AND TESTING THE SAFETY STOP PULL CORD
During operation of the treadmill, the lanyard on the Safety Stop Pull Cord should be attached to an item of the user’s
clothing.
While the treadmill is on and the console display is active, remove the Safety Stop Pull Cord from the treadmill. A mes-
sage shall be displayed on the console similar to “EMERGENCY STOP - REPLACE KEY”. With the Safety Stop Pull
Cord removed no keys shall function on the treadmill.
Place the Safety Stop Pull Cord back in place. The treadmill will reset and will be ready for operation.
