TREADBELT TRACKING ADJUSTMENT:
The performance of your treadmill is dependent on the frame running on a reasonably level
surface. If the frame is not level, the front and back roller cannot run parallel, and constant belt
adjustment may be necessary.
The treadmill is designed to keep the tread-belt reasonably centered while in use. It is normal
for some belts to drift near one side while the belt is running with no one on it. After a few
minutes of use, the tread-belt should have a tendency to center itself. If, during use, the belt
continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
TO SET TREADBELT TRACKING:
A 6 mm Allen wrench is provided to adjust the rear roller. Make tracking adjustments from the
left side only. Set belt speed at
approximately 2 to 3 mph. A small
adjustment can make a dramatic difference.
Turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn and wait a few
minutes for the belt to adjust itself.
Continue to make 1/4 rotation turns until
the belt stabilizes in the center of the
running deck. The belt may require
periodic tracking adjustment depending on
use and walking/running characteristics.
Some users will affect tracking differently.
Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less
of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility
common with all treadmills.
ATTENTION:
DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING /
TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE XTERRA WARRANTY.
