To tighten the belt, start by locating the two bolts that adjust the rear roller (one on each side of the unit in the back). Run the unit at about 3 mph. Tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a time. Make sure that what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other side or the belt will get off center. After you tighten it 1/4 turn, check the belt to see if it is still slipping. If it is then tighten the belt 1/4 turn again. Continue until the belt does not slip, but do not tighten the bolts more than 2 full turns.

Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand on the back end of the unit. Using your left hand, pull the lock knob to the left and hold it. Pivot the treadmill down until the frame is past the pin on the lock knob. Note: You may need to push the handrail to the side slightly. 2. Move in front of the back end and hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and lower the treadmill to the floor. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight

Hey Richard
Depending on the noise it could be one of several components failing.
If loud clanking or clunking noises these components are Drive Motor, Front or Rear Rollers.
If it is a loud humming noise increasing and decreasing when planting yours feet then it is either the Inductor ( square object ) or the internal windings of the Drive Motor.
Unplug your unit remove the motor shroud with a long shaft flat tip screw driver you'll be able to pin point the problem with this tool.
Now locate front shaft and rear roller tension adjusting bolt ( refer to owners Manual) plug in unit, start unit and touch flat tip on the shaft and place your ear on the handle the noise will be amplified and you will be able to locate the noise repeat this procedure on the other above mentioned components if problem is not found. GOOD LUCK!

To usethese instructions, you need to have a familiarity with electricity and aworking knowledge of a voltage multimeter. With all of these tests, USEEXTREME CAUTION!!! Never let the voltage ground directly to any part ofthe treadmill or your leads ground while you
are testing voltage.
1)To begin, set your volt meter to AC volts. We are going totrace the power from the wall outlet through the
treadmill to see where it ends.
2)
With the treadmill unplugged, test the wall outlet. You should have from 115 to125 VAC. Optimally, you will
have at least 120 VAC.
3)Follow the power leads from the power cord to the lead ends.With the treadmill unplugged, connect your
meter to the lead ends. Plug the treadmill in and check your reading. It shouldbe the same as your reading
from the wall outlet.
4) Continue this process with the electrical system, following theleads, as they pass through, breakers, fuses,
and the like.
5)Where the power flow ends is where your problem is. Sometimesit will be in a bad connection, sometimes
it will be in a shorted breaker or blown fuse, at times it may be as simple asa safety switch not working
properly, or it may be a major problem with a component.
5) In some cases, components work in tandem (i.e.- a controllermay need a signal from the console
computer to release voltage to the motor)
TESTING FUSES, BREAKERS, WIRING, AND SWITCHEST
1) One of the most common problems with power outages is problemswith fuses, breakers, wiring, or switches.
2) If your treadmill is equipped with a safety switch, set yourvolt meter to continuity. Touch your test leads together to make sure you
are getting a closed circuit. With the treadmill unplugged, back the leads offthe safety switch, usually near the upper display computer.
With the safety key out, test the switch. It should be open. Push the safetykey in. Your circuit should be closed. If this tests ok, move to
the next step.
3) While testing for voltage, you can unplug your treadmill andtest the fuses, breakers, and wiring harnesses. Sometimes a breaker may
have shorted open and not tripped. Test these components individually. You wanta closed circuit on all of themSincerely. God bless you. If you need further assistance, please reach me.
