minutes between each 1/8-turn to allow the belt position to stabilize.
To correct a belt that tracks to the left, turn the left pulley adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE in 1/8-turn increments until the belt tracks in the center. Wait 2 or 3
minutes between each 1/8- turn to allow the belt position to stabilize.

loosen the pulley screw that was tightened and wait several minutes for
the T2100 Treadmill belt position to stabilize. Then tighten the other pulley
adjustment screw.

Make adjustments to the pulley screws in small increments.
Over-adjustments and repeated tightening of the screws can cause too
much tension on the belt.
