How To... Tension Existing Striding Belt
Special Service Tools Required: None
1. Locate the belt tensioning bolt on each side of the rear roller. The tensioning bolts are accessible through the
holes provided in the rear roller guards.
2. Return the tensioning bolts to their approximate
original position using the count of the number of
rotations required for removing them.
NOTE: If this rotational count is unavailable, hand-
tighten tensioning bolts plus an additional two turns
before continuing tensioning process.
3. Enter SPEED MANUAL and run unit for at 5.0
mph (8.0 km/h) for five minutes.
NOTE: Do not walk or run on the treadmill during this
time. Ensure that the belt is centered. If the belt is not centered then see “How To” on next page.
4. Set the striding belt speed to 2 mph (3.2 km/h). Begin walking on the treadmill. Tightly grasp the handrails and
make a deliberate attempt to slow the striding belt. If belt slippage is detected, proceed to step 5, otherwise
proceed to step 6.
5. Stop belt and increase belt tension on each side by 1/4-turn. Return to step 3.
NOTE: Make tension adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.
6. With the belt running, note its tracking on the
deck surface. If the belt is offset to the right,
turn the right tensioning bolt 1/8 turn
counterclockwise and the left tensioning bolt
clockwise an equal amount. If the belt is
offset to the left, turn the left tensioning bolt
1/8 turn clockwise and the right tensioning
bolt counter-clockwise the same amount.
Repeat adjustment as necessary. Allow the
unit to operate for several minutes after each
adjustment to see that the belt remains
centered on the deck surface.
NOTE: Make tracking adjustments in 1/8 turn increments.
