1.2.5 CENTERING THE BELT
After the treadmill has been installed and leveled, the belt must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, plug
the power cord into an appropriate outlet (see electrical requirements) and turn the treadmill ON.
Stand on the sides of the treadmill and straddle the belt, not standing on it at this time. Press the Go System-Quick
Start Key and increase the speed to 4.0-mph (6,4 kph) using the Speed Up Arrow Key.
While the treadmill is running, if the striding belt moves to the right, turn the right tension bolt (A) 1/4 turn clockwise
with provided ¼” Allen wrench, and then turn the left tension bolt 1/4 turn counter-clockwise (see figure). This sets
the striding belt tracking back to the center of the roller.
If the striding belt moves 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 the center of the roller.
Repeat adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. The belt should be centered on the roller with an equal
distance (B) on both sides from belt to roller. 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. The phone numbers are listed in "How to Obtain Product
Service."
