PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm
2
(14-gauge) cord that is no longer
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be
permanently damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen
wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts coun-
terclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is
properly tightened, you should be able to lift each
side of the walking belt 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in.) off the
walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt
centred. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and
run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the
walking belt is properly tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call our Customer Service Department.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if
the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord,
insert the key and run the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centred.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correct-
ly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of
the walking belt 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in.) off the walking
platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centred.
Plug in the power cord, insert the key and carefully
walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until
the walking belt is properly tightened.
