PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on

SOLUTION: a. Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in

length.

b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be
permanently damaged. Remove the key and UN-
PLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench,
turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the
power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a
few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly
tightened.

c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.
