Adjusting Tension on a Treadmill Running Belt It is necessary to properly tension atreadmill beltwhen 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 forhow to tension a treadmill running belt.

1. Adjust for no slippage of thetreadmill walking belton the front roller (Often referred to as the "Stomp Test")
   1. This procedure works well for a previously installed belt that is now slipping.
   2. Underside of belt should be free of any glazing/wax buildup.
   3. Rollers must also be free of wax buildup.
   4. Be sure belt tracking/centering is correct before proceeding.
   5. The most popular speed for this adjustment is 2mph to 3mph.
   6. 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.
2. This procedure requires twobelt gauges or calipers
   1. This procedure works well when installing a new belt.
   2. 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.
   3. If you are working on a previously tensioned belt you will need to release the tension before attaching the gauges or calipers.
3. Gauges or Calipers unavailable
   1. Release the tension on the belt.
   2. 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).
   3. 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.
   4. Test for proper tracking and tension, adjust if necessary.

How to Tension Treadmill Walking Belt that Slips

On C846 version 1 units, set the on/off switch in the "on" position. It will be necessary to start pedaling for the bicycle to "power up". For any other units, we recommend checking for any loose, crimped, or visually bad wires. Make sure the speed sensor on your bike is working. You can run a quick test by using a magnet to swipe in front of the sensor to see if it is sending signal to your console.

Precor Error 05, Key Depressed at Power Up Probable Cause 1. A key is permanently depressed on the display. 2. An interface chip (IC) has failed in the upper PCA's keypad. 3. Liquid (cleaning solution or sweat) may be on the surface of a touch sensitive display. Corrective Action

1. Disconnect the keypad cable from the upper PCA. Reset power to the machine. If the Error 05 is eliminated, the keypad is the cause and should be replaced.
2. Disconnect the keypad cable from the upper PCA. Reset power to the machine. If the Error 05 still appears, the upper PCA* is the cause and should be replaced. *Upper PCA's most commonly do not come with software. Remove the software (chip) from the existing upper PCA prior to replacement and install into the new upper PCA.
3. Wipe away all liquid from the touch sensitive display. Reset power to the unit. If the Error 05 is eliminated, the liquid was the cause.
