PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
S
OLUTION: a
. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10.
b
. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both rear
roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the
walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able
to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 inches off
the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking
belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the
key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat
until the walking belt is properly tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-center, remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt
has shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the
left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walk-
ing belt has shifted to the right, turn the bolt coun-
terclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to over-
tighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power cord,
insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, remove the
key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the
hex key, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a
turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you
should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2
to 3 inches 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 properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The upper body arms squeak during use
SOLUTION: a. (Note: Correcting this problem requires a small
amount of white marine grease, available at hardware
stores.) Turn the Resistance Knob (A) counterclock
-
wise and remove it. Next, remove the Resistance
Cone (B) and the Upper Body Arm (42), along with
the Resistance Plate (C), Thrust Washers (F), Thrust
Bearing (G), Spring Washer (E), and Washers (D).
(Note: If the Resistance Plate [C] comes out of the
Resistance Cone [B], press it back in.) Apply a thin
layer of white marine grease to the outer surface of
the Resistance Cone (B). Then, reattach all parts in
the order shown at the right.
