TIGHTENING THE MOTOR BELT
1. Power off.
2. Locate the four bolts holding the motor.
3. Loosen those four bolts, but do not
remove them.
4. Locate the long tensioning bolt that
goes from the front edge of the
treadmill to the front edge of the motor
pallet.
5. Turn the Allen key clockwise to
tighten the tensioning bolt just enough
to stop it from slipping.
6. Check the tension on the motor belt.
7. Power on the machine and check if the
motor belt is still loose (See previous
section).
NOTE: Do not tighten the motor belt too much as this could cause the motor shaft
to snap.
3. An easy way of checking is by touching the motor belt to feel if it is slack. If you can
wiggle the belt up and down, it means that the drive belt is loose.
4. You can check this every time you use the treadmill by setting the speed to 2-3
km/h then walking on the machine and try to stop the running belt with your feet
while holding the handrails and pulling your body in the opposite direction. If the
motor stops, it means that it is loose and needs to be tightened.
