Turn the treadmill's power switch to ON.
Start the treadmill and increase to 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
Start walking on the treadmill, grabbing side handrail and
applying pressure with your foot to create resistance on the
running belt.
If the running belt hesitates or slips on the front drive roller,
tighten both tension bolts ½ turn (clockwise).
Repeat steps 2 thru 4 until the running belt stops slipping.
NOTE:
When the running belt is too tight, the edge of belt will
curl, causing premature running belt failure.
