Do not ove_ighten the walking heft. Be not torque adj_stment screws beyond _ in@s {9 N-M}. 0ve_ightening
reduces the beff life and may damage the rolbr bearings.

Adjusting Belt Tension

Adiust the heft tension whenever the heft s_ipsor moves
unsteadily during operatiom

1.Loosen the _o adiustment bolts (See Rgore 1}.

2.With the w'a[k#_gbek loose, place two marks 35inches

(89 cm} apa_ on each side of the heft near the edge,
The belt must be loose enough for you to move it from
side-to-side on the front or rear ro_ler(See Figure 2}.

3. Turn the adiusting bolts cbckwise in equa_amounts
until the marks are be_een S5o_q6inches and 35°d16

inches a£art, Proper tension for the walking heft is
between .5%-.6%. This equaB six fu]_turns of each

adiustment heft from the point where the belt begins to

stretch.

NOTICE: #o not exceed 35o5/16inches,

4.Test the belt by running on the belt at about 4 mph.
Hold the handrail lightly arid resist the belt movement

with your feel

Too much resistance applied too bng (more than two

seconds) may shut down the system. {Various error
messages show on the display if this occurs, Cycle

power to resume normal operation.)

5. ff you feel the boutslip on the,front rotle_, increase

the tension of each adjo£ment bolt by 1/2turn.
