Maintenance and storage
1. Check the V-belt and treadmill settings
If the treadmill seems to be slipping, follow these steps to determine which part is
loose and needs tightening, the treadmill (surface) or the V-belt on the motor.
a) Turn off the main switch and disconnect the belt from the power supply (from the
socket). Loosen the side screws on the motor guard and pull the guard down.
b) Switch the belt back on and set the speed to approx. 3 km/h. Stand on the belt and
try to stop it by stepping lightly against the movement of the belt.
c) If the treadmill (surface) pauses with the front roller, this means that the engine V-
belt needs to be tensioned.
d) If the treadmill (surface) pauses but the front roller is still spinning, this means that
the treadmill (surface) needs to be tensioned more.
e) Once this check and adjustment is complete, screw the motor guard back on.
2. V-belt adjustments
Disconnect the belt from the power supply and remove the motor guard. Loosen the
four screws on the motor and then turn the special adjustment screw to adjust. Screw
clockwise. Then screw back all four screws on the motor.
Plug the belt into the power supply and check again as before that the V-belt is
sufficiently tensioned. If the belt still needs to be tightened, repeat the operation once
more.
3. Treadmill/surface modification
Turn the two screws at the ends of the belt in the same direction half a turn as shown in
the pictures below. If the belt/surface still slips, repeat the previous step. With this
adjustment, you can let the belt run at a speed of about 5-6 km/h.
