ADJUSTING THE BELT WHEN IS NOT IN CENTRE (BEAR LEFT OR RIGHT)
Usually between the frames and the running belt there should be a gap of 5-6 mm on
both sides. If that gap is different it means that the belt is eccentric. So you have to put
it back to the right position by following these steps:
1. Power on and set the speed at 2-3 km/h and adjust the screw at the end of the
treadmill slowly with the Allen key.
2. If the belt slants to the left, adjust the left bolt clockwise or adjust the right bolt
anti-clockwise. If the belt slants to the right, adjust in the opposite manner.
3. While adjusting the belt, check if the gap of difference has disappeared, if it is still
there, screw the bolt again. Repeat this procedure until the running belt is in the
centre. It does not need to be aligned perfectly, but ensure it is not scraping or
rubbing on anything on the sides.
4. Set the speed at 6 km/h to check if the running belt is still in the same position.
Once you have checked that, the treadmill is ready to use.
ADJUSTING THE MOTOR BELT
After a period of time, the user will feel there is a pause sensation whilst running. That
may be due to a loose motor belt, so adjusting it would be necessary. First of all, you have
to check if it is loose following the steps below.
HOW TO CHECK IF THE MOTOR BELT IS LOOSE
1. Unplug the treadmill.
2. Remove the motor cover by unscrewing the bolts on each side. You will see the
motor located on the left hand side of the treadmill.
3. Get back on the treadmill and check
the belt (read description above). If it is
still loose, re-adjust the belt screws by
another quarter until you get the
required tension on the belt.
4. Run the machine on its own for 1-2
minutes to see if the belt stays in the
middle.
5. Do the final test. Leave the machine
running for a couple of minutes at 6-8
km/h.
6. If the running belt stays in the centre,
you can use the treadmill straight away.
