ADJUSTMENT
When adjusted properly, the Avari® Magnetic Treadmill’s WALKING BELT(10) will roll smoothly around
the BOARD(9) and over the front and rear rollers without catching or rubbing. For the belt to run smoothly,
there are a few points that need to be noted
BELT ALIGNMENT
The WALKING BELT(10) must be in the center of the BOARD(9) to prevent it from rubbing against the
FLYWHEEL COVERS(15, 16). If the belt rubs a ywheel cover, it will be difcult to keep the belt moving
and will eventually damage the edge of the belt. The treadmill has belt guides welded to the bottom of the
treadmill frame that move the belt toward the center of the treadmill. However, the REAR ROLLER(13)
must be properly aligned with the treadmill frame and FRONT ROLLER w/FLYWHEELS(12) if the belt is
to remain centered on the treadmill. The bolts in the rear of the treadmill (one on the left and the other on
the right) adjust the alignment of the REAR ROLLER(13) as well as the tension of the belt
The belt will run to the side of the loose rear bolt.
Hint:
Visually check the REAR ROLLER(13) to make sure both the right side and the left side of the REAR
ROLLER(13) are the same distance from the back edge of the treadmill. Using the 5mm ALLEN
WRENCH, make adjustments by turning the bolts clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen.
BELT DRIFTING LEFT
Adjust by turning the left screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE and the right screw
1/4 turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Walk on the treadmill to check alignment.
Repeat if needed.
BELT DRIFTING RIGHT
Adjust by turning the left screw 1/4 turn COUNTERCLOCKWISE and the
right screw 1/4 turn CLOCKWISE. Walk on the treadmill to check alignment.
Repeat if needed.
NOTE:
When you believe the WALKING BELT(10) is centered, use the treadmill for three (3) minutes to verify the
WALKING BELT(10) won’t drift to one side or the other. If the WALKING BELT(10) continues to drift, the
oor may not be level. Rotate the treadmill 90 degrees or move the treadmill to another location.
BELT TENSION
The WALKING BELT(10) should be taut and not lying loosely on the treadmill BOARD(9). If the belt is too
loose, it will slip on the front roller and you will notice a jerky movement when you walk on the treadmill. If
the belt is too tight, the edges of the belt will begin to curl and more effort will be required to move the belt.
Excessive belt tension can also damage the bearings in the rollers. The bolts on the ends of the MAIN
FRAME(1) (one on the left and the other on the right) adjust the WALKING BELT(10) tension as well as
the REAR ROLLER(13) alignment.
BELT TOO LOOSE: Use the 5mm ALLEN WRENCH to tighten the bolts on the ends of the MAIN
FRAME(1). Tighten both bolts 1/4 turn clockwise at a time until the belt stops slipping on the FRONT
ROLLER w/FLYWHEELS(12).
BELT TOO TIGHT : Use the 5mm ALLEN WRENCH to loosen the bolts on the ends of the MAIN FRAME(1).
Loosen both bolts 1/2 turn counterclockwise at a time until the belt begins to slip on the FRONT ROLLER
w/FLYWHEELS(12). Then use the procedure above to tighten the belt to the proper tension.
