Belt Adjustment - Powerpeak Ftm8317P Mode D'emploi

BELT ADJUSTMENT
You may need to adjust the running belt during the first few weeks of use. All running belts are properly
set at the factory. It may stretch or be off centre after use. Stretching is normal during the break‐in
period.
Adjusting the belt tension
If the running belt feels as though it is slipping or hesitating when you place your foot on it during a run,
the tension on the running belt may have to be increased. To increase the running belt tension:
1. Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press SPEED+ button until speed reaches 5,6
km/h.
2. Place a wrench on the left adjustment screw. Turn the wrench clockwise 1/4 turn to draw the rear
roller and increase the belt tension.
3. Repeat step 2 for the right adjustment screw. You must be sure to turn both bolts the same number
of turns, so the rear roller will remain square relative to the frame.
4. Repeat step 2 and step 3 until the slipping is eliminated.
Note: be careful not to tighten the running belt tension too much as you can create excessive
pressure on the front and rear roller bearings. An excessively tightened running belt may damage
the roller bearings resulting in bearing noise from the front and rear rollers.
Centering the running belt
When you run, you may place more pressure on the belt with one foot than with another. The severity
of this deflection depends on the amount of force that one foot exerts in relation to the other. This
deflection can cause the belt to move off‐centre. This deflection is normal and the running belt will
centre when nobody is on the running belt.
If the running belt remains consistently off‐centre, you will need to centre the running belt manually:
1. Place the device on a level surface.
2. Start the treadmill without anyone on the running belt, press SPEED+ button until speed reaches 5,6
km/h.
3. Observe whether the running belt is toward the right or left side of the deck.
a. If toward the left side of the deck:
Turn the left adjustment screw clockwise 1/2 turn, and the right adjustment bolt counter
clockwise 1/2 turn.
b. If toward the right side of the deck:
Turn the right adjustment screw clockwise 1/2 turn, and the left adjustment bolt counter
clockwise 1/2 turn.
c. If the belt is still not centered, repeat the above steps until the running belt is centered.
4. After the belt is centered, increase the speed and verify that it is running smoothly. Repeat the
above steps if it is necessary. If the above procedure is not successful in resolving the problem, you
may need to increase the belt tension.
