The Life Fitness treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards, which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These
tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust tracking and centering of the striding belt (A) without removing the guards.
NOTE: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit
may cause striding belt misalignment. See "How To Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill" in the "Set Up" section prior to
attempting any rear roller adjustments.
Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the REAR ROLLER (B) pivot point (C). Each adjustment made to one side of
the ROLLER must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment (D) to the other side of the ROLLER to maintain an
ideal belt tension at the pivot point.
