Centering The Running Belt - Horizon Fitness PARAGON 7E Manuel D'instructions

TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the factory before it was shipped.
At times the belt can move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION
Running belt should NOT be moving during tensioning. Over-tightening
the running belt can cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running
belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing
the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this
slipping, turn the treadmill off and tension both the rear roller bolts using
the supplied Allen wrench, turning them ¼ turn to the right as shown. Turn the
treadmill on and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but never turn the roller
bolts more than ¼ turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping
sensation is gone.
LEVELING THE TREADMILL
Your treadmill should be leveled for optimum use. Once you have placed your
treadmill where you intend to use it, raise or lower one or both of the adjustable
levelers located on the bottom of the treadmill frame*. A carpenter's level is
recommended. If your treadmill is not level, the running belt may not track
properly. Once you have leveled your treadmill, lock the levelers in place by
10 tightening the nuts against the frame (Some treadmills do not have levelers).

supplied Allen wrench). Check the belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to
gauge if more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until the belt remains
centered during use.
