IMPORTANT: It is CRITICAL that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any belt tensioning or tracking  
adjustments. An unstable unit can effect belt tracking.  
27. After the treadmill has been leveled, plug the power cord back into an electrical wall outlet and activate the unit.  
28. Tension the belt to the markings on the adjusting screws. Set the main motor speed to 4.0 mph (6.4 km/h) and  
note belt tracking. If the belt moves to the left, turn the left adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and the right  
adjusting bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise to bring the belt back to center. If the STRIDING BELT moves to the  
right, turn the right adjusting bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and the left adjust bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise to bring the  
striding belt tracking back to center.  
29. Repeat this adjustment until the striding belt is centered on the rear roller. Allow the unit to operate for several  
minutes to ensure it remains on center.  
30. Decrease striding belt speed to 2 mph (3.2 kph) and begin walking on the treadmill. Tightly grasp the handrails  
and attempt to stall the striding belt. If it slips, stop the treadmill and increase belt tension by turning the  
tensioning bolts clockwise in 1/4 turn increments. Repeat the stall test.
