Belt and Bed - Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed. Performance is
maximized when the bed is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to
wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as
practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed
life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon
scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow the belt to dry before using.
Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with
a damp cloth will minimize buildup.
General Cleaning - Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running
belt. On a monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Once a year, you
should remove the black motor hood and vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG
POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK.
BELT ADJUSTMENTS:
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Adjustment must be made from the rear roller. The
adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails in the end caps, as noted in diagram
below.
Tighten the rear roller bolts only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both
tread-belt tension adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension
by walking on the belt at a low speed, making sure the belt does not slip. Keep tensioning the
bolts until the belt stops slipping.
If you feel the belt is tight enough, but it still slips, the problem may be a loose
Motor drive belt under the front cover.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing
failure.
