Tensioning the belt
+ If the running belt slips over the rollers during operation (if this is the case, a
noticeable jerking will be noticed while running), the running belt must be
tightened again. In most cases, the cause for the slipping is a straining of the belt
through usage. This is completely normal.
+ It can be tightened through the same setting screws that were used during
alignment.
+ While tensioning the belt, let the equipment run with a speed of 5km/h.
+ Turn the left and right setting screws directly after each other a max. 1/4 clockwise
rotation clockwise.
+ Then check if the running belt is still slipping. If this is still the case, the described
process needs to be repeated.
Lubricating the running belt
+ If the running belt is inadequately lubricated, the friction will increase signicantly
and this leads to strong wear of the endless belt, running panel, motor and circuit
board.
+ If you feel an increase in friction from the running belt, this is an indicator that you
should lubricate the belt (however, a lubrication should be done at least every
three months).
+ The treadmill has a reminder for lubricating the treadmill: A symbol is displayed on
the console every 100 operating hours. The symbol appears on the display for ve
minutes and then turns o. In order to turn o the symbol prematurely, press the
INCLINE up and INCLINE down buttons at the same time.
