Replacing the Running Belt and Deck
This procedure is to be used to replace the running belt and/or deck while maintaining the drive
belt’s original tensioning and setting the running belt’s tension and tracking. Two running belt
gauges, Precor part number 20007-101, are required. It is important that this procedure be
followed to maintain correct drive belt and running belt tension. Over tensioning the belt will lead to
premature running belt wear, premature driver roller bearing failure and premature Take-up roller
bearing failure. This procedure addresses decks that can be flipped, however it is important to
note that only double sided decks can be flipped. Single sided decks must be replaced.
Procedure
1. Remove the end caps from the rear of treadmill to expose the Take-up roller mounting
bolts.
2. Remove the treadmill motor cover.
3. Remove the left and right Take-up roller mounting bolts. Remove the Take-up roller from
the treadmill.
4. Slowly rotate the drive motor flywheel while pressing the drive belt off of the drive roller
pulley. Continue until the drive belt “walks” completely off of the drive roller pulley.
