is properly aligned.
Adjusting the Tension of the Belt
Proper belt tension is important for a smooth, steady run. If your physical condition permits, test
the belt tension by jogging at 6 mph. If the belt tension is too loose, you will feel a pause in the belt
with each footplant (step).
To adjust the running belt tension, take the following steps:
1. Make sure that the treadmill is OFF. If the treadmill is ON, switch it to OFF. Wait for the
running belt to come to a complete stop.

belt to 6 mph by pressing the SPEED key.
4. Jog on the running belt for 1 minute or more. If you feel a pause in the belt with each
