PACEMASTER R20 SPORT TREADMILL USER MANUAL
SYMPTOMS AND SOLUTIONS
Most treadmill problems can be resolved quickly using the following steps. If there
is a problem that you cannot easily solve, contact our Customer Service Team.
A. SYMPTOM
Sudden changes in speed while using the treadmill.
SOLUTION
The running belt can become slack from use, causing
the belt to slip. Adjust belt tension right away:
1. Press the STOP button.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. You can tell if the belt is too loose or tight by gently
lifting the belt away from the platform. There should be
between 2-3 inches of space.
3. If the belt is too loose adjust the belt. Use a socket head
wrench to adjust the rear roller adjustment bolts, turning
each bolt clockwise ¼ turn. If necessary, repeat by ¼
turns until the running belt has correct belt tension.
B. SYMPTOM
The distance between the running belt and the sides of
the platform is uneven.
SOLUTION
1. Run the treadmill while you stand behind it.
2. If the running belt deviates to the left, turn the left hexagon
socket head bolt (11) clockwise ½ turn. If the running belt
deviates to the right, turn the right hexagon socket head
bolt (11) clockwise ½ turn.
3. Adjust as needed to center the belt, but be careful not to
cause excess tension on the running belt.
