Adjusting belt tracking

Your running belt should remain centered, although a slight
amount of movement to the left or right during use is normal. Do
not allow the running belt to travel all the way to either side.
To adjust the belt tracking, do the following:

Approximate time to complete: 25 min
Turn the treadmill's power switch to the ON position.
Increase the speed to 3 mph (4.8 km/h)
Observe the left side of the running belt as it travels over
the rear roller.
If the belt runs to the right side of the roller, turn the right
bolt 1/8 turn clockwise and turn the left bolt 1/16 turn
counterclockwise.
NOTE:
When tightening one side of the belt, always loosen
the opposite side one-half as much. This procedure
provides finer control, with a smaller impact on the
belt tension.
Check the belt after 2 minutes, with the treadmill running
at approximately 7 mph (11.3 km/h).
If the belt does not correct itself, continue with slight turns
until the belt is in the center of the rear roller. If the belt
runs toward the left side of the roller, reverse the
adjustments.
NOTE:
Uneven floors accelerate belt misalignment. This
situation may require more frequent adjustment to
prevent belt damage.
