Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the
treadbelt tension adjusting bolt in increments of 1/4 turn and inspect for proper tension.
When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must also make a tracking
adjustment to compensate for the change in belt tension. This is accomplished by
turning both the tension and tracking Allen bolts an equal amount. This adjustment
should be made by turning both bolts clockwise by no more than a 1/4 turn at a time.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature
bearing failure.
TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably
level surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and
constant belt adjustment may be necessary.
The treadmill is designed to keep the treadbelt reasonably centered while in use. It is
normal for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it.
After a few minutes of use, the treadbelt should have a tendency to center itself. If,
during use, the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:
A M6 Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from
the left side only. Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small
adjustment can make a dramatic
difference. Turn the bolt only a 1/4
turn 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. The belt may require periodic
tracking adjustment depending on
use and walking/running
characteristics. Some users will affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments
as required to center the treadbelt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance
concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with
all treadmills.
