PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge
suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400
volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be elec-
trically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may
become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn
both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform.
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. 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, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on

rear roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. 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 allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing belt 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the
