Next, locate the Reed Switch (104) and the Magnet
(102) on the left side of the Pulley (49). Turn the
Pulley until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed
Switch. Make sure that the gap between the
Magnet and the Reed Switch is about 1/8 in.
(3 mm). If necessary, loosen the #8 x 3/4" Truss
Head Screw (14), move the Reed Switch slightly,
and then retighten the Truss Head Screw. Reattach
the Motor Hood (not shown), and run the tread-
mill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed
reading.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on
a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conduc-
tor, 14-gauge (1 mm
2
) cord that is no longer than 5
ft. (1.5 m).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill per-
formance may decrease and the walking belt may
become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both
idler roller screws counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn.
When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt
2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then,
plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-
ing belt is properly tightened.
c. Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to
the walking belt or the walking platform unless
instructed to do so by an authorized service
representative. Such substances may deterio-
rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more
lubricant, see the front cover of this manual.
d. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see
the front cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt is not centered
between the foot rails. IMPORTANT: If the walking
belt rubs against the foot rails, the walking belt
may become damaged.
a. First, remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD. If the walking belt has shifted to the left,
use the hex key to turn the left idler roller screw
clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walking belt has
shifted to the right, turn the left idler roller screw
counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the
power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill
for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is
centered.
