TRACKING AND TENSIONING Proper tensioning of the Treadbelt and Drive Belt are necessary to insure smooth operation and long life for your treadmill. As these components may stretch as part of their normal break in period it is one of the few things we ask our customers to do in maintenance of their treadmills. The following illustrates how to tension the Treadbelt and Drive Belt. Check Drive Belt tension

Drive Belts are pretension before the treadmill leaves the factory. Adjustments are ONLY necessary when Drive Belt is slipping during use. If the belt needs to be adjusted use a 7/16” socket and turn the bolt underneath the motor pan attached to the hook screw.

To test for tightness: 1. Remove motor cover. 2. With mill running at 2mph walk on treadbelt. 3. If Drive Belt is moving front roller with no slippage then drive belt is correctly tensioned. Tighten belt only until it stops slipping to insure maximum drive motor and roller life. As a starting point check the tension on the Drive Belt by placing the Drive Belt between your thumb and forefinger and twisting. The proper twist is 45°. CAUTION: NEVER OVER TENSION THE DRIVE BELT. TIGHTEN ONLY TILL SLIPPING STOPS. OVER TIGHTENING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE MOTOR AND WILL VOID THE MOTOR’S WARRANTY.

11

TREADBELT TENSIONING Treadbelts are tensioned at the factory and normally need no adjustment. To determine if the treadbelt needs to be adjusted perform the following test: 1. Remove motor cover. 2. Set treadmill speed to 2mph. 3. Walk on treadbelt and see if drive roller is turning but belt is not moving. If belt is not moving then tension treadbelt ONLY until belt ceases to slip. The same adjustment bolts used for tracking TENSION the Treadbelt. To tighten Treadbelt, turn both adjustment bolts (clockwise) exactly the same amount. Failure to turn them equally will affect belt tracking. You are moving the Take-Up Roller closer or further away from the deck to tension the Treadbelt. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN TREADBELT! If you can't reach the palm of your hand under the center of the Treadbelt, if the edges of the belt are curled up, or if you hear the belt “groaning” THE TREADBELT IS TOO TIGHT. TREADBELT TRACKING The Treadbelt is TRACKED by means of two adjustment bolts (9/16" wrench) located at rear of treadmill. By tightening the side the belt is closest to and loosening the opposite side by the same amount, you change the alignment of the rear roller without changing overall tension. Adjustments should be made with treadmill running, and should be made in 1/4-turn increments. Allow at least 30 seconds for treadbelt to stabilize between each adjustment. Perform the adjustments at slower speeds (2-3 mph) until you are comfortable making adjustments. Faster speeds will cause the adjustments to take effect quicker (5-6 mph). Example: Treadbelt tracks to the right: a. Turn treadmill on, and bring speed up to 2.0 mph. b. Using a 9/16" wrench, tighten the right-hand adjustment bolt 1/4" turn. c. Loosen the left-hand adjustment bolt 1/4" turn. d. Let Treadbelt stabilize (rotate for 30 seconds) and readjust if necessary. *If normal tracking procedures are not working satisfactorily, proceed with the following steps: MAKE SURE TREADMILL IS LEVEL! Make sure the treadmill is completely level. Place a carpenter's level across rear frame rails running parallel with rear roller. VERY IMPORTANT: Must have a minimum of 150 pounds on the treadmill’s side steps for the reading to be accurate. If not level, try to move treadmill to more level flooring. If that is not an option use leveling shims. You can either put something under the rear feet or install shims between the rear foot and the frame. Simply loosen the two Philips head screws and slide shim in place. Tighten screw and re-check that the treadmill is level.

12

DRIVE ROLLER ALIGNMENT: The Drive Roller is preset at the factory. However, if the Treadbelt is centered at the Rear Roller but is off center in the front, an adjustment will need to be made. This problem often appears as the belt is running diagonally (closer to one side at the top but farther away at the bottom). The Drive Roller is secured to the frame with two hex head bolts. (3/8 wrench) The holes in the frame are elongated; this allows for forward and aft adjustment of the drive roller. Example: Treadbelt is tracking to the right hand side. Adjust right hand side of drive roller by moving it towards the front (motor side) of treadmill. The Treadbelt will move towards the center.

13

Recommended Maintenance Home Models- Vacuum around and underneath the treadmill on a monthly basis. Vacuum or wipe down the deck area between the treadbelt and frame. Wipe down display using mild solution of Non-Phosphate cleaner on damp soft cotton cloth and handrails after every use. No other maintenance is required. Commercial ModelsOnce a week 1. Wipe down display. Use mild solution of Non-Phosphate cleaner on damp soft cotton cloth. Once a week or as needed. 2. Wipe down handrails and traction strips with soft cotton cloth and mild soap and water. Cloth should be damp not wet. Once a week or as needed. 3. Vacuum or wipe down the Deck area between treadbelt and frame. Once a week. Once a Month 1. Take off Motor cover and vacuum. 2. Slide clean towel under Treadbelt and wipe deck and under the belt. Rotate belt 180 degrees and repeat. 3. Apply Slipcoat, the only lubricant recommended by Landice, under the Treadbelt if it feels dry (non oily). 4. Check Drive Belt Tension 5. Check Treadbelt Tension and Tracking Every Six Months 1. Check Motor Brushes for wear. Clean commutator if needed. Cleaning Treadbelt Walking Surface- Treadbelts should be vacuumed to remove loose dirt. If vacuuming doesn’t remove dirt, we recommend the use of a medium stiff nylon bristle brush to remove dirt trapped in treadbelt surface. A damp (not wet!) sponge can be used to finish the cleaning process.

DEFINITIONS OF COMPONENTS ANTA PWM COMBO BOARD: This Control Board is a combination of the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), relay board, and DC Transformer. This is also known as a combo board and used in home setting. Delivers power to the upper board, elevation motor, and drive motor.

CAPACITOR Stores energy to smooth out voltage to Drive Motor. Used with SCR Motor Control Boards . CHOKE (Inductor) Acts like a filter to smooth out voltage to Drive Motor. Used with SCR Motor Control Boards. DCP (DISPLAY CONTROL PACKAGE) Package containing all of the components relative to the Upper Display Console. This includes the membrane/faceplate, upper display board, & wire harness. DCP’s also include owner’s manuals, warranty cards, and cardio pulse transmitter strap (if applicable). DCP’s are for HOME TREADMILLS ONLY and are rarely a warranty part.

DIAGNOSTIC MODE The test mode that allows access button feedback, potentiometer calibration, speed control (PST, CT, & ET), total hours and miles, and pulse reading. DRIVE BELT This connects the Drive Motor to Sheave (Pulley) on Drive Roller. DRIVE MOTOR Provides power to Drive Belt to turn Pulley on Drive Roller to move Treadbelt. This gets its power from the PWM or SCR. Landice Drive Motors are either 110v for 220v.

DRIVE ROLLER W/ SHEAVE This is the Roller at the front of the Treadmill. The Sheave (pulley) is pressed onto the roller and allows transfer of movement from Drive Belt to Treadbelt.

ELEVATION LEG ASSEMBLY Connects to Elevation Motor to allow movement of front of treadmill up or down.

ELEVATION MOTOR This motor works through the elevation leg assembly to raise or lower the front of the treadmill. It gets its power from the Combo Board on Home models and from the SCR on LTD and Club models.

ELEVATION POTENTIOMETER Attaches to Elevation Motor and gives feedback to Upper Display as to what incline the treadmill is at. Needs to be calibrated whenever elevation motor is replaced. A Potentiometer should be checked whenever there is a problem with elevation or when the Error Code “PO” comes up.

ESI PWM COMBO BOARD This Control Board is a combination of the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), relay board, and DC Transformer. This is also known as a combo board and used in home setting. Delivers power to the upper board, elevation motor, and drive motor.

FACEPLATE This overlay is found on our Sports Trainer and RTM models and is screwed onto the Upper Display Board.

19 FRAMES (SIDE) One on either side, these connect with the Deck Slats to form the frame of the machine. FRAME COVERS (SIDE) These sit on top of the Frame Rails and keep Deck in place. They also form the base for the Traction Strip. IR POTENTIOMETER The IR Pot is located on the Combo Control Board and is used to adjust the time it takes the PWM to react to a load or amperage spike. It normally requires adjustment if the motor feels like it’s surging or lacking torque. MEMBRANE PANEL This takes information from the display membrane keys and transmits it to Upper Display Board via the ribbon cable. It is found on the PST3, CT2, and ET2 models.

OPEN LOOP SPEED (O.L.S.) MODE The test mode which remove the speed sensor from equation of running treadmill. This mode will give access to speed feedback and control the speed of the treadmill on a running unit. NOTE: RTM & ST has a separate command for entering into O.L.S. SAFETY LANYARD This is a safety feature that completes a switch in the Display Board. If it is not connected the treadmill will display a “SAFE” message. Works with the stud and flux guide. SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) Control Boards-Used in LTD (110v) and Club Models (220v) This circuit board is designed to run the drive motor, elevation relays, the belt relay, DC transformer for power to Upper Display Board, and on board diagnostic lights. The SCR requires a Capacitor and Choke to provide “clean” power to the Drive Motor SPEED SENSOR Landice uses a magnetic speed sensor (Baldor motors) or optical speed sensor (McMillan Motors) to receive accurate speed readings. Readings are taken directly from the flywheel on the motor and sent to the Combo Board or SCR. TAKE UP ROLLER This is the Roller at the rear of the treadmill. It completes the loop for Treadbelt movement and allows tracking and tension adjustment of Treadbelt. TREADBELT This is the surface the user walks on. It rides over the deck and rollers. UPPER DISPLAY BOARD This controls information from the Membrane panel or Faceplate. It then transmits it to the Combo board on Home models and the SCR on Club or LTD models. UPRIGHTS One on either side, these hold the wire harness, the upper display, the cross member, and the handrails.

UPPER WIRE HARNESS Transmits data from lower electronics to upper electronics.

VFX SYSTEM Shock-absorbing Deck. Consists of wood Deck, VFX Deck Post, Deck Spacer, Deck Load Washer, Deck Felt Washer, and Deck Impact Absorber.

TESTING COMPONENTS MOTOR COMPONENTS DRIVE MOTOR:

Generation Test – all Landice drive motors (110 & 220) are direct current or DC. A DC drive motor can produce (generate) a DC voltage when it’s manually rotated. The DC output is linear to the speed the motor is rotated. To perform the “Generation Test” follow these steps: 1. Un-plug treadmill from wall outlet. 2. Disconnect drive motor from motor control board. 3. Connect DMM (Digital Multi-Meter) to the drive motor wires. Note: Your DMM should be set on Volts DC (VDC) Motor plus (+) = Red test lead from DMM Motor minus(-) = Black test lead DMM 4. Position your DMM so you can read it while standing on the treadbelt. 5. Start to push / run on the treadbelt. Note: You are spinning the drive motor manually. The faster you spin the motor, the higher the output of DC voltage will register on your DMM.

110 VAC treadmills use a 90 VDC drive motor. For every mile per hour you spin the drive motor you will generate approximately 10 VDC output. So, at 1 mph you will measure 10VDC +/- and at 9mph you will measure 90VDC +/-. 220 VAC treadmills use a 180 VDC drive motor (double the input voltage, double the size of the drive motor). For every mile per hour (mph) you spin the drive motor you will generate approximately 20 VDC output. So, at 1.0mph you will measure 20 VDC +/- and at 9.0mph you will measure 180 VDC +/-. If you measure very low DC voltage or zero DC voltage, first check the drive motor brushes for condition. Motor brushes are the leading cause for drive motor failure. If the motor brushes are worn below 3/8” in length, replace them. (90VDC Motor Brush part#70222, 180 VDC Motor Brush part#70223) Alternate Test 1: Attach 9 or 12 volt battery to motor leads. There should be motor movement. Alternate Test 2: Unplug Treadmill. Disconnect Drive Motor wires. Disconnect Drive Belt. Hold black and white wires together. Spin flywheel. There should be resistance when wires are connected. ELEVATION MOTOR Using your voltmeter measure the input voltage (AC) to the elevation motor. Secure the black (negative) meter probe to a good chassis ground. Place the red meter probe on the RED wire in the elevation harness. Press the elevation DOWN key and you should get 120 /220VAC. Place the red meter probe on the BLACK wire in the elevation harness. Press the elevation UP key and you should get 120/220VAC. If the elevation motor is getting the proper AC voltage in but does not turn, replace it.

21

ELEVATION POTENTIOMETER Remove the elevation pot from elevation motor but do not disconnect the brown, orange and blue wires. Using a digital voltmeter set to ohms (Ω), place meter probes on the pot prongs with the (orange) and (brown) wires. You are measuring resistance so you do not need to observe polarity. - Turn pot shaft completely clockwise (0-1000Ω). - Turn pot shaft completely counterclockwise (1000-0Ω). Now place meter probes on prongs (orange) and (blue) wires. - Turn shaft of the potentiometer completely clockwise (1000-0Ω). - Turn pot shaft completely counterclockwise (0-1000Ω) If the elevation potentiometer does not indicate the proper resistance readings, it is must be replaced. Note: Potentiometer should fit snugly into motor. Check for tight fit. Also check that nut on Potentiometer is tight. MOTOR CONTROL COMPONENTS PWM MOTOR CONTROL The PWM board runs on AC voltage. The AC voltage is delivered to the PWM board across two input terminals marked L1 and L2. Confirm AC voltage into the PWM by measuring across these terminals with your voltmeter. You should measure 120/220VAC input. The DC voltage comes out of the PWM board (going to the drive motor) across two output terminals marked A+ and A-. Power up treadmill in Open Loop Speed OLS mode and bring to maximum speed. Confirm DC voltage out by measuring across these two terminals with your voltmeter. You should measure 90/180VDC output. If the PWM board is getting the proper AC voltage in but does not supply any DC voltage out, it must be replaced. (This holds true as long as proper speed reference voltage is being supplied from relay board to PWM across the V+, P1, & P2 terminals. SEE PAGE 45) SCR MOTOR CONTROL The SCR board runs on AC voltage. The AC voltage is delivered to the SCR board across two input terminals marked HOT and NEUT. Power up treadmill in Open Loop Speed (OLS) mode (see Page 56) and bring displayed speed to the max. Confirm AC voltage into the SCR board by measuring across these terminals with your voltmeter. You should measure 120/220VAC across these terminals. The DC voltage comes out of the SCR board (going to the drive motor) across two output terminals marked MTR+ and MTR-. Confirm DC voltage out by measuring across these two terminals with your voltmeter. You should measure 90/180VDC output. If the SCR board is getting the proper AC voltage in but does not supply any DC voltage out, it must be replaced.

22

SPEED SENSOR The speed sensor can be checked for proper operation by entering the Open Loop Speed (OLS) Mode. (See page 39) There is a yellow SPD LED mounted to either the relay board (HOME PWM models) or the SCR board (LTD and CLUB models). The light will flash ON and OFF when you rotate the drive motor flywheel slowly by hand. This indicates the proper operation of the speed sensor. If you do not get this flashing to occur, then check for proper speed sensor alignment (only on Baldor motors). If this does not help, replace the speed sensor. DISPLAY COMPONENTS UPPER DISPLAY BOARD The upper display board is powered by DC voltage. On HOME treadmills this DC voltage is supplied by the DC power supply. On LTD/CLUB treadmills the SCR board supplies this DC voltage. Confirm the upper display is getting DC voltage delivered to it. If the display board has the proper DC voltage supplied and does not light, it must be replaced. FACEPLATE The faceplate has no mechanical or electrical components that can fail. However, if you press a key and it fails to respond check for proper display board spacing. The faceplate is designed as a passive panel. When the user presses a key (pushes through the faceplate) they activate a switch mounted on the upper display board. If the display board to face plate distance is too great, the display board switch will not be fully activated and result in a dead response. Small washers are placed between the display board and mounting studs to adjust this distance. This is performed at the factory but can be upset if disassembled in the field. MEMBRANE PANEL The membrane panel has small micro switches laminated inside that transmit the user’s commands into treadmill functions. Enter “Diagnostic Mode” to confirm proper operation of the membrane panel. In this test mode you will be able to check each key on the membrane panel. By pressing a key, you will hear an audible beep and also see a numeric code appear in the speed window. There is a numeric code assigned to each key on the panel (except the OFF key). For a complete list of these codes, see the chart on opposite page. If you do not hear a “BEEP” or see the proper code appear the key is bad and the membrane panel must be replaced.

COMMON PROBLEMS Symptom: Treadbelt feels like it’s slipping or grabbing when walked on. Possible Cause: Loose drive belt or treadbelt. Adjust as per manual. Remember to adjust only till slipping stops. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN Possible Cause: Worn treadbelt and/or deck. If treadbelt or deck is worn it will cause excessive friction and the user will feel like belt is slipping or grabbing. 1. Reach hand under front of treadbelt and see if deck feels rough, grooved, or if you see bare wood. These are signs the belt needs to be replaced and the deck needs to be reversed or replaced if it has already been reversed. 2. Compare the outer edge of the treadbelt to the middle of the treadbelt. The outer edge wears less since the user walks near the center of the belt. You will be able to see the cross weave of fabric on a good treadbelt. This cross weave design traps air inside tiny pockets. The treadbelt glides on this trapped air. When a belt wears, the cross weave becomes flat and smooth. This is not good because there are no more pockets to catch the air. If the center of the treadbelt is smooth (glazed) and exhibits black streaks it’s time to replace. 3. If amp draw is high (8 amps or more on home) it is advisable to check belt and deck for wear. Tip: If Red Current Lamp is lit then Amp Draw is high. TREADBELTS AND DECK SURFACE SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPLACED TOGETHER IF EITHER IS WORN OUT.

Symptom: Treadmill slows down when user steps onto treadbelt. Possible Cause: Worn out treadbelt or deck. See above. Possible Cause: Worn or defective motor brushes and/or scorched commutator on drive motor. Dress out commutator and replace brushes. Possible Cause: Demagnetized stator magnets on drive motor. Make sure that treadmill is unplugged! Disconnect drive motor from lower circuit board. Hold the two motor wires, Black A+ and White A-, together and rotate the motor flywheel by hand. Get a good feel for the rotational friction of the drive motor. Then disconnect the two motor wires and rotate the drive motor by hand. If the drive motor begins to spin much easier, then your motor is not the problem. If you notice no difference, then replace the drive motor. NOTE: A good drive motor will spin freely with little friction when disconnected from the lower circuit board. If the two motor wires are connected together, the drive motor will become much harder to rotate. Also see: Component Testing –Drive Motor

Symptom: Treadbelt is moving diagonally. If a belt is moving diagonally on the treadmill it can be corrected with the following steps: 1. Loosen the take up roller (both sides) 2. Take off the motor cover. 3. Loosen the drive roller adjustment bolt on the right side (opposite the sheave pulley). 4. Using a large screw driver or pry bar move the drive roller forward if the belt is angled right to left or backward if it’s angled left to right. 5. Tighten drive roller until star washer bites into aluminum frame, start treadmill, and adjust tracking. If belt is straight then put on motor cover. If belt is still not straight, go to #6. 6. If there is improvement and there is still room to move drive roller adjustment bolt, continue to adjust until fixed. 7. If there is no more adjustment on right side adjustment bolt, go to left side adjustment bolt (make sure to loosen the drive belt via the drive belt tension adjustment bolt and retension when done). Landice has adjustment on the front roller to correct for this type of problem. The front roller will not be damaged by the adjustment providing these steps are followed. If this doesn’t correct problem please call 1-800-LANDICE.

Symptom: Treadmill speed is erratic and/or surges. Possible Cause: Defective drive motor See Component Testing -drive motor: Possible Cause: Loose drive belt or treadbelt. Check for proper drive belt and treadbelt tension. If one of these belts are not tight enough, they will slip and create a treadbelt skip or surge. This will usually be more apparent with heavier users. (See belt-tensioning procedures) Possible Cause: High drive motor current due to excessive treadbelt friction. Check for treadbelt and tread deck for wear. Check that Red Lamp marked Current is not on. Possible Cause: Worn or defective motor brushes and /or commutator. Check Motor brushes move freely in holder. Brushes should be at least ¼ inch long, approximately the same length, and free of cracks, splits, and fraying. Possible Cause: Line voltage surging. Use voltmeter, monitor line voltage supply. Make sure customer has the treadmill plugged into a circuit that meets our electrical requirements. (Home & LTD Treadmills = 120V / 15 amp dedicated circuit), (Club Treadmills = 220V / 15 amp dedicated circuit) NO extension cord should exceed 6 feet in length and must be 12Awg, same as linecord. NO surge suppressors or GFI outlets. Possible Cause: (PWM boards ONLY Home Mills) IR potentiometer out of adjustment. Adjust the IR “pot” on the lower motor control board until the surge subsides.

32 IR POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENTS, HOME TREADMILLS ONLY: IR = I (amperage) R (resistance)

The IR potentiometer that is located next to the MAX speed potentiometer on the PWM motor control board is used to adjust the time it takes the PWM to react to a load or amperage spike. When the user steps onto the treadbelt a load is introduced to the system which creates an amperage spike. The PWM board senses this amperage spike and reacts by feeding more power to the drive motor. This “more power” compensates the amperage spike (load) and the treadmill does not slow down. If the IR was adjusted to react slowly the user would notice a lag in belt movement when stepping onto the treadbelt. If the IR was adjusted to react too quickly the user would notice a quick surge when stepping onto the treadbelt. Either way, the treadmill will surge considerably when this occurs. There have also been isolated cases where the treadmill will surge without a user walking on it. When this occurs, the red light on the PWM (LED1) will flash in sequence with the belt surge. To adjust the IR potentiometer:

No load / belt surging / LED1 flashing = use a small screwdriver to rotate IR pot. Make this adjustment while the treadmill is running (surging). Rotate the pot in small increments until the treadmill surge subsides and runs smoothly. NOTE: the IR pot can be rotated Clockwise or Counter Clockwise to achieve smooth operation. With load / belt surging / LED1 may be flashing = use a small screwdriver to rotate IR pot. Make this adjustment while the user is walking on the treadmill. Rotate the pot in small increments until the treadmill surge subsides and runs smoothly. Keep speed setting under 2.0mph for safety. NOTE: the IR pot can be rotated CW or CCW to achieve smooth operation. Possible Cause: Damaged motor control board.

Disconnect the drive motor from the motor control board. Enter OLS (Open Loop Speed) mode and bring displayed speed to max. Measure with a voltmeter across the lower motor control board output terminals A+ and A-. Monitor the DC voltage on your meter. If the DC voltage is surging, the motor control board is defective. Replace the motor control board. Symptom: Display reads “SAFE” Possible Cause: Safety Lanyard is missing. Solution: Replace Safety Lanyard. Possible Cause: Flux guide is missing/out of position. Solution: Check flux guide for proper alignment. Possible Cause: Safety Leash is defective/missing from Upper Display board. Solution: Replace Safety leash. Possible Cause: Defective Display Board. Solution: Replace Display Board. Symptom: Speed shown is not actual speed. Possible Cause: Speed needs to be calibrated (Home treadmills only). Page 46 illustrates how to calibrate.

NOISES Many times a treadmill will tell you what’s wrong with it by the noises it makes. We strongly recommend the use of an automotive stethoscope. Service Tip: Treadmill making noise but can’t tell from where. Solution: Must isolate all moving parts. 1) Unplug treadmill. 2) Disconnect Drive Belt. 3) Turn treadmill on, listen for noise. a) If noise is not present proceed to next step. b) If noise is present, drive motor must be source. 4) *Reconnect the Drive Belt and loosen the Treadbelt completely. 5) Turn treadmill on, listen for noise. a) If noise is not present, Rear Roller must be source. (bearings) b) If noise is present, Drive Roller must be source. (bearings) 6) With Treadmill off, bounce or jog in place on Deck. If noise is present then deck or frame is making the noise. * The Treadbelt must be loose enough that when the treadmill is powered up the Treadbelt does not move. Rollers (Drive and Take up) Rollers only have two moving parts, i.e. the bearings located on either end of the roller. The place to check for noise is on the shaft coming out of the roller since it is close to the bearings and doesn’t move. Many technicians will hold the blade end of screwdriver onto the shaft and their ear next to the handle end to be sure they are identifying the location of the noise. The most common sound is a clicking that comes from a bearing that is no longer round. Other noises can be a rumbling (like rolling something around in a metal drum) and in worse cases a grinding metallic noise. Treadbelt noises Questions to ask: 1. Has the belt been broken in correctly? Treadbelts need to be walked on to have wax penetrate them. Starting at the back walk from side to side and up and down for at least 20-30 minutes to break in belt at a speed of 2 mph. 2. Is treadbelt tracked correctly? If belt is off to one side it may be rubbing, making noise. Track using bolts on rear roller. 3. Is treadbelt over-tightened? This is the most common cause of groaning type noises. First, loosen treadbelt and see if noise goes away. If noise goes away, tighten belt only until there is no slippage when walking. 4. Is belt rubbing on cross brace underneath treadmill? Sometimes these get bent during shipping. Bend back so belt will not rub.
