First check that the treadmill is level. Then adjust levelers if possible. Most treadmills will have a bolt at the rear of the tail roller one each side to adjust belt tracking. If it is tracking to the left tighten the left , for each adjustment on one side make equal and opposite adjustment on the other side to avoid over tightening the belt. 1/4 turn at a time

Bmw 318i 1996 screeching belt

It might not need to replace the belt but to adjust (tighten) them. Check for a loose one and adjust it. Does the noise changes or stops if the AC is on or off? Or if you turn your steering all the way to either side?

The belt slides to one side (the same side) always when we start to walk. It is a new belt and deck. Afraid it will wear out the belt as it starts to rub against the edges. Thanks

you need to tighten the w/belt. the side that the belt goes to tighten 3 quarter turns. now on the other side loosen 2 quarter turns. turn on the the belt on 3or 4 setting the belt should start moving over when it get to where you want it tighten the sid e you first loosen 2 quarter turn. then run it at higher speed to see if it stays its trial and error remember rightie tightie leftty loosie. in the end you want equal tension with the rollers bolts ps good tension is 2 -3 inches up when lifting up the sides of the w/belt

I have a Proform 850 and the belt keeps slipping off. Almost immediately after starting to excersise on it. Any ideas on what is wrong with it.

what do you mean off like completly off or to one side. you need to balance the tension on the w/belt otherwize the blet will creep to the left or right. if the belt goes to the right tighten the right and loosen the left, when the belt get to where you want it. tighten the side you made the belt move to this will keep it centered

I have a Reebok treadmill. The belt stops while the motor continues while walking on it. What could be causing this to happen?

the drive belt is too loose. you need to tighten the belt that drives the front rolller, which drives the walking belt. depending on the type of treadmill there shoudl be a way you can do this by loosening the motor and adjusting that to tighten the belt. it could also be that the belt needs to be replaced and also could be the walking belt. you should try to tighten the walking belt first. that is at the end of the treadmill where you walk on it. there are two holes one on each side of the treadmill where teh belt goes back under the treadmill. there are allen key bolts that you need to tighten clockwise one turn then try the treadmill. if it doesnt tighten then turn another full turn. if not tight enough then it might be the drive belt. if you tighten the walking belt all the way then try to tighten the drive belt.

My walking belt is off cener

Here are two solutions one is to get the belt centered on the treadmill and the other is to tighten the belt.

There should be two bolts in the rear of the treadmill, one on each side. These bolts adjust the rear roller of the treadmill. The walking belt will always go to the side that is looser. To get the belt back on track, (if you can start the treadmill so the belt is running) tighten the bolt on the side that the belt has slipped to. Tighten the bolt a little bit at a time. If you tighten the bolt too much, then the belt will go to the other side.

To tighten the belt, start by locating the two bolts that adjust the rear roller (one on each side of the unit in the back). Run the unit at about 3 mph. Tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a time. Make sure that what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other side or the belt will get off center. After you tighten it 1/4 turn, check the belt to see if it is still slipping. If it is then tighten the belt 1/4 turn again. Continue until the belt does not slip, but do not tighten the bolts more than 2 full turns.

I was told too loosen the belt with the ajusting screws at the end of the belt when lubricating. now the belt wont stay in line it was perfect before now it goes off to one side or the other. what do i do

the adjusting screws are the answer.tighten the side where the belt goes .or loosen the other side. if you can do this with it running and it will correct the tracking as you tighten/loosen and you will know when to stop.

How do I adjust tension on walking belt

A good way to test your walk belt to see if it is slipping is to stand on side rails with treadmill running about 4mph and while holding onto handrails keep one foot on the side rail and put your one foot on the center of the belt in a slight stomping motion,if the belt is loose you will feel it slip. To adjust a loose belt tighten each screw at back of treadmill 1/2 tun each until the slippage goes away. Be sure not to over tighten belt as this will cause excessive wear.If the belt has shifted to one side and you need to center it, go to the side it has shifted to and turn the screw clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until it centers.

Belt stops as soon as any weight is applied.

This is caused by one of three problems. First and most likely, the walking belt is loose. To tighten the belt, start by locating the two bolts that adjust the rear roller (one on each side of the unit in the back). Run the unit at about 3 mph. Tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a time. Make sure that what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other side or the belt will get off center. After you tighten it 1/4 turn, check the belt to see if it is still slipping. If it is then tighten the belt 1/4 turn again. Continue until the belt does not slip, but do not tighten the bolts more than 2 full turns. If it takes more than 2 turns then something else is the problem. The second problem that it could be is the drive belt might be loose. To tighten the drive belt, start by removing the front cover. loosen the bolts around the motor then tighten the drive belt by tightening the motor adjuster bolt. Once the drive belt is tight, tighten the motor back down. The third problem that it could be is the walking belt could be worn and need to be replaced. Let me know if you have any questions.
