Treadmill
XT685
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they
favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are
necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
An 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side
bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference
which may not be apparent right away. If the belt
is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt
only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) and wait
a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt
stabilizes in the center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the
bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on use
and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make
adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all
treadmills.
ATTENTION
Damage to the running belt resulting from improper tracking / tension adjustments is not
covered under the Spirit Fitness warranty.
