Hi: Does anyone out there no anyone who can replace a track on a treadmill?

Everytime I run now, the track moves over every so gently to the edge. We've tried adjusting it several times with the alan key, but it keeps on moving over to the side.

I'm pretty sure that the track is just stretched.

Thanks, Anne.

Hello,

I realize it has been some time since you posted your request, but just in case you still need help. Your belt may just need adjustment. Stand behind the treadmill and turn it on. Increase the speed to about 5 mph. If the belt moves to the left, then tighten the left rear adjustment bolt about 1/2 turn and loosen the right one about 1/4 turn.

If it moves to the right do the same for the other side. Repeat until the belt stays in the center. then get on the treadmill, if it still moves then adjust a little more. This should keep your belt from tracking to the side when you jog on it.

If you cannot get the slack out of the belt, then it may be strretched and will have to be replaced.

Thanks
