times to remove all dirt and salt from the belt, painted parts and the display. NOTICE: T o prevent damage to the finish of the machine or Console, do not clean with a petroleum based solvent. Do not apply too much moisture to the Console. Adjusting the Belt Tension If the walking belt starts to slip during use, it is necessary to adjust the tension. Your treadmill has tension bolts at the rear of the treadmill. 1. Before you adjust the belt tension, start the treadmill by pushing the START button. Be sure not to touch the walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders and children away from the product you are servicing at all times. 2. Use a 6 mm hex key to turn the right and left belt adjustment bolts clockwise a 1/2 turn, first one bolt and then the other bolt until the belt does not slip. 3. After you adjust each side the 1/2 turn, do a test to see if the belt stopped slipping. If the belt still slips, do steps 2 and 3 again. If you turn one side more than the other, the belt will move away from that side of the treadmill and may need realignment. NOTICE: Too much tension on the belt causes unnecessary friction and wears the belt, motor and electronics. 4. Push PAUSE/STOP twice to stop the walking belt and end the Quick Start workout. Aligning the Walking Belt The walking belt should be centered on your treadmill at all times. Running style and a non-level surface can cause the belt to move off center. Minor adjustments to the 2 bolts at the rear of the treadmill are necessary when the belt is off center. 1. Push the START button to start the walking belt. Be sure not to touch the walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders and children away from the product you are servicing at all times. 2. Stand at the rear of the treadmill to see which direction the belt moves. 3. If the belt moves to the left, turn the left belt adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise and the right belt adjustment bolt 1/4 turn counterclockwise. If the belt moves to the right, turn the left adjustment bolt 6mm 6mm 1/4 turn counterclockwise and the right adjustment bolt 1/4 turn clockwise. 4. Monitor the path of the belt for approximately 2 minutes. Continue to adjust the bolts until the walking belt is centered. 5. Push PAUSE/STOP twice to stop the walking belt and end the Quick Start workout. Lubricating the Walking Belt Your treadmill is equipped with a low maintenance deck and belt system. The Walking Belt is pre-lubricated. Belt friction can affect the function and life of the machine. Lubricate the belt every 3 months or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Even if the treadmill is not in use, silicone will dissipate and the belt will dry out. For the best results, lubricate the deck periodically with a silicone lubricant using the following instructions: 1. Turn off the power to the machine with the power switch. 39
