Visually inspect and clean the treadmill regularly.
Daily visual inspection should include:
• Inspect the power cord and walking belt for wear.
• Check the position of the walking belt; be sure it
is not rubbing against the frame. The belt should
be evenly spaced on the deck within 0.25 inch;
adjust if necessary.
• Remove potential hazards from the treadmill area.
Cleaning
• Daily: Keep the treadmill and display free of
dust and debris. Use a damp sponge to wipe the
exteriors and walking belt; do not soak surfaces.
Dry all surfaces thoroughly.
Use a mild glass cleaner to clean display and keypad
areas. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the treadmill.
Instead spray cleaner onto a clean cloth.

Walking Belt Tension Adjustment
qqqqq
WARNING SECURE LONG HAIR AND
LOOSE CLOTHING BEFORE WORKING NEAR THE
TREADMILL WALKING SURFACE OR PULLEYS.
As the treadmill’s walking belt stretches through use
it will become necessary to adjust tension on the
belt. This often occurs within the fi rst few months of
use. Adjust the belt tension whenever the belt slips or
moves unsteadily during operation.
The belt tension is adjusted by moving the rear
roller of the treadmill back to reduce slack. This is
accomplished by turning the adjustment bolts located
on the back of the treadmill.
qqqqq
IMPORTANT Do not over tighten
walking belt! The belt need only be tight enough to
prevent it from slipping during use. Excessive belt
tension will decrease belt life and can damage the
treadmill rollers and drive system.
1. Using a ½ inch socket, turn the left and right
adjusting bolts clockwise ½ turn. Use care to
make each adjustment equal to ensure proper
belt alignment.
