Tensioning the Running Belt
Tensioning the Running Belt
1 Move the running belt so that the seam is underneath the treadmill.
2 Place a running belt tension gauge on each side of the running belt
parallel from each other. The gauges have a fixed side and a movable
side.
3 Place the movable side to the middle of its travel and adjust the
dial pointer to the number 3.
NOTE: Using the number 3 as a reference point and centering the movable
side of the gauge allows increment or decrement movement without
impeding the travel of the gauge.

4 Carefully move the running belt so that you can see the dials easily
while tightening the take up roller mounting bolts.
