Belt keeps slipping on treadmill
Adjusting Tension on a Treadmill Running Belt
It is necessary to properly tension a
treadmill belt when it is replaced. After time, a belt can stretch and may begin to slip. When this happens, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the running belt to stop it from slipping. Manufacturers of treadmills generally agree on one of three procedures for
how to tension a treadmill running belt.
- Adjust for no slippage of the treadmill walking belt on the front roller (Often referred to as the "Stomp Test")
- This procedure works well for a previously installed belt that is now slipping.
- Underside of belt should be free of any glazing/wax buildup.
- Rollers must also be free of wax buildup.
- Be sure belt tracking/centering is correct before proceeding.
- The most popular speed for this adjustment is 2mph to 3mph.
- Try to slow the belt by applying pressure with your foot against the belt movement while grasping the handrails. If the running belt slow, slips or stops (and the front roller does not) adjust BOTH adjustment bolts 1/4 turn clockwise. Test again and repeat adjustment if necessary.
- This procedure requires two belt gauges or calipers
- This procedure works well when installing a new belt.
- This procedure requires you to stretch the belt. Depending on the manufacturer*, this varies between .4 and .6 percent. A dial on the gauge or caliper will indicate the amount of stretch. *Consult the owner/service manual for proper tension.
- If you are working on a previously tensioned belt you will need to release the tension before attaching the gauges or calipers.
- Gauges or Calipers unavailable
- Release the tension on the belt.
- Using a yard stick or tape measure, place two marks on the left and right edges of the belt and deck 36 inches apart (or 50 inches if you prefer).
- Adjust the left and right tensioning bolts until both sides measure 36 3/16 inches (or 50 1/4). This is equal to .5% of stretch.
- Test for proper tracking and tension, adjust if necessary.

Once treadmill is turned on it starts then a
Hello,
It sounds like you have a reed switch malfunction. The reed switch is located next to the front drive roller at the drive pully under the motor hood. It is the little black wire with the pick up on the end. It need to be about an 1/8th of an inch away from the magnet that is mounted in the pully. If it looks lined up and is not twisted, check the other end. It is plugged into the controller on the other side. If all looks fine, you just might nee to get another one.
Hope this helps If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at

Life Fitness Club Series+ treadmill, miles to kilometers?
Hi Yuri,
Hope so you're doing well, the distance unit from miles to kilometers on the Life Fitness Club Series+ treadmill, there are a few steps you can try before contacting Life Fitness support:
- Warm reset: Press the CLEAR key twice, and then hold down the ENTER key. The treadmill should perform a "warm" reset and beep three times, indicating that the USER MENU has been activated. After the reset, check if you can access the distance unit setting.
- Manual access: Alternatively, you can try holding down the ENTER key while turning on the treadmill. The message "USER MENU" should appear, and after a second, the MESSAGE CENTER will display the first menu item. Navigate through the menu options using the appropriate keys until you find the distance unit setting.
Hope so this will work for you!
Regards,
Bryce June
