TENSIONING THE BELT
Running Belt
If when you plant your foot on the belt, you can feel a slipping sensation
then the belt has stretched and is slipping across the rollers. This is a nor -
mal and common adjustment on a new treadmill. To eliminate this slip -
ping, tension both the rear roller. Allen bolts 1/4 TURN as shown above. Try
the treadmill again to check for slipping. R epeat if necessar y, but NEVER
TURN the roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. C AUTION: OVER-TIGHT-
ENING OF THE ROLLER WILL SEVERELY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE BELT
AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS.
Drive Belt
If you have tensioned the running belt and are still experiencing
a slipping sensation, call your Johnson Dealer. Tensioning
of the drive belt should only be per formed by an authorized
dealer.
