Replacing your treadmill running belt and deck – one minute video
You can
find replacement running belts, drive belts decks and isolators on our website
http://www.partsfortredmill.com
Remove
the motor hood and place the walking deck into the storage position. If there
is a storage latch make certain that the storage latch is properly secured. Locate
and remove the screws from the underside of the walking platform to remove the
sidederails. Your treadmill most likely has 8. Refer to your users manual for
verification. Siderails may be also sticked with double sided tape or fixed in
different ways. Carefully lower the walking deck and remove the side rails. Remove
the back idler bolts. Remove the back idler roller.
While
turning the drive roller by hand pull on
the inside of the drive belt in order to walk it off.
Mark the
exact position of the front roller if you need to unscrew any screw there. Then
remove front roller. Sometimes it is not needed to remove the front roller as
the belt can slide on the open side.
Remove
the four screws found above each of the isolators using an allen wrench. Remove
the four bolts found in each corner of the walking board. You will also need a
crescent wrench.
With two
people lift the walking board up and remove the running belt and the running
board. Replace the walking belt. Using your allen wrench replace the bolts in
each of the four
corners
of the walking board. Screw the isolator screws back into place, slide the
drive roller into place. Then walk the belt onto the pulley just as it was
taken off, replace the idler roller,
screw the
idler bolts back in and screw the side rails back on. Now put the motor hood
back on. Please refer to our videos aligning the walking belt and tensioning
the walking belt for any help needed while adjusting the walking belt.

Tensioning the walking belt, running belt slipping
Over time
the walking belt may begin to slip. This can happen if the belt is too loose. You
can tighten the belt using an allen wrench.
When
tightening the belt turn both the left and right idler bolts the same distance
and direction with the belt stopped. Start by turning the idler bolts in one
half turn increments followed by one quarter turns for finer adjustments.
After
each adjustment, test on the treadmill. Repeat these steps until the slipping
no longer occurs. DON’T overtighten the belt, if the belt keeps slipping you
may need to replace it or look for other problems on the treadmill.

Aligning the Treadmill Running Belt
Over time
the walking belt may become misaligned. You can center the belt by using an
allen wrench.
Only use
the left side idler bolt. If the belt is too far to the left, turn the wrench
to the right or clockwise. If the belt is too far to the right, turn the wrench
to the left or counterclockwise.
With the
belt stopped turn the idler bolt in 1/2 turn increments followed by 1/4 turns
for finer adjustments. Then start the walking belt and the belt should adjust,
repeat these steps until the belt is centered.
