Intenza Treadmills Handbook. Maintenance. How To Tension The Belt
When walking on the running platform, if a slipping sensation is experienced the belt has
stretched and is slipping across the rollers.
The running belt will stretch over time. This is a normal and common adjustment to make on any treadmill. To eliminate any slipping
please follow the instructions below—
How To Tension The Running Belt
1 Tension both bolts on the rear roller 1/4 turn clockwise.
2 Try the treadmill at 1.0 km/h (0.5 mph) speed to check for slipping.
3 Try the treadmill again to check for slipping.
