Item Description
1 Adjustment Bolts
When operating the treadmill at a High Speed Application
may cause hesitation/slippage of the running belt with
each foot plant. This could be a sign of the backing of the
running belt breaking down causing a premature failure.
For troubleshooting refer to "Running Belt High Speed
Application" on page90.
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 through 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.
