MAINTAINENCE
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE 9.45TV TREADMILL:
Proper maintenance is very important to ensure your treadmill is always in top working condition. Improper maintenance could
cause damage or shorten the life of your treadmill and exceed the LIMITED WARRANTY coverage.
•
Important: DO NOT use abrasives or solvents to clean the treadmill. To prevent damage to the computer, keep liquids
away and keep it out of direct sunlight.
•
Inspect and tighten all parts of the treadmill regularly. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
BELT ADJUSTMENT:
ALL BELT ADJUSTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED MAINTENANCE, AND ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE END USER.
Belt adjustment and tension performs two functions: adjustment for tension and centering. The running belt has been adjusted
properly at the factory. However transportation, uneven flooring or other unpredicted reasons could cause the belt to shift off center
resulting in the belt rubbing on the plastic side rail or end caps and possibly causing damage to the equipment. To adjust the belt
back to it’s proper position please follow the directions below:
•
Walking belt has shifted to the left: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the left rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge
protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center.
Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you
have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping"
instructions.
•
Walking belt has shifted to the right: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided,
turn the right rear roller adjustment bolt 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back into the surge
protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should see the belt start to correct itself, moving back towards the center.
Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is centered. It may be necessary to set walking belt tension once you
have completed this procedure if the belt feels like it is slipping while walking. Refer below to the "Walking belt slipping"
instructions.
•
Walking belt is slipping: First unplug the power cord from the surge protector. Using the hex key provided, turn both the
left and right rear roller adjustment bolts the equal amounts , 1/2 turn in the clockwise direction. Plug the power cord back
into the surge protector and run the treadmill at 2.5 mph. You should now walk on the belt to determine if the belt is still
slipping. Repeat the above procedure until the walking belt is not slipping. The tension should be just tight enough not to
slip. If proper tension cannot be achieved
within four attempts please contact Smooth Fitness Technical Support. Belt
centering may be necessary once you have completed the tensioning procedure.
WARNING! Do not over tighten rollers! This will cause premature roller bearing failure!
Right and left tension bolts are located at the rear of the treadmill.
