8.0 Treadmill Belt Tracking
As the treadmill is used, the treadmill belt and the pulleys will begin to wear in. This may cause the belt to
stretch and become loose which may also coincide with the belt beginning to track away from the center of
the treadmill. Adjustments can be made to return the belt to the center of the treadmill.
Remove the treadmill cover and the lane dividers.
Set the “SPEED” to a high setting, 50.0 meters/minute or greater
Then switch the “TREADMILL BELT” toggle to “RUN”.
Observe the treadmill belt from above the front (the inclination rod has been removed for clarity).
Using the 7/16-inch wrench supplied with the treadmill, tighten and loosen the nuts as follows:
• If the belt is right of center: tighten the nut on the right and loosen the nut on the left.
• If the belt is left of center: tighten the nut on the left and loosen the nut on the right.
