I spent 30 minutes trying to adjust my treadmill belt evenly only for me to keep making it worse lol. Figured I’d watch a RUclips video cause I felt like crying and giving up. After watching this video, I kid you not I fixed the belt in 5 minutes. Such a lifesaver, thank you!!
I'm the same right now, but I must be extra dumb or something cuz I can't for the life of me fix it. Even when it's right and equal on both sides and I feel like singing, I then discovered the belt is too lose and while tightening it keeps slipping to one of the sides again. Can't figure out the left or right side turning to get me where I need to be 🙈 It's why I absolutely HATE oiling the machine cuz I need to losen the belt to do it.
@@JudithSamp Took me like 2hrs one day and then still had some fixing to do the following day. Would love to give advise, but it was all trial and error for me with lots of frustration. Once I got it straight and it came to oiling again few weeks later, I religiously counted each turn to try and get it back the same again. So far so good.
Thank you for this. I tried to adjust the tension of my treadmill's belt and the manual that came with the treadmill did not seem to make sense at all. It said to move one screw clockwise while moving the other counterclockwise. I watched your video and you confirmed my suspicion. Thank you for that!
Best video ever made. No BS. None of that "I love to hear how smart I am while I talk and tell you a bunch of details nobody really needs to know" crap. Just the required info in simple, easy to understand format. Thanks!
My husband messed up the alignment and I managed to adjust it back after watching this video. You saved him from getting a scold from me and on behalf of him I thank you so much 😂
These videos are so helpful and well explained, thank you. Its a shame that the actual companies that sell these overpriced things don't also have such clear videos.
JTX Fitness does sell treadmills. That's one of theirs that the guy (an employee of theirs who installed mine) is maintaining. I've got the same model.
this was the first video i watched and it was the only video i had to watch since you were very precise and clear on how to fix the treadmill. thanks !!!!!!!
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
Excellent video and excellent advice. I did some lubrication on my belt and cleaning for the first time since I have owned it. That has been about 10 years. After my lubrication, the belt was tracking to the right. Nothing I did was helping and only made the problem worse. After watching this, I fixed the belt alignment in about 5 minutes. Super helpful video. This is the the kind of content that RUclips is perfect for. Thank you!
Thank you for explaining what tightening and loosening the two sides of the belt actually does. The manual was not clear on that, and simple understanding helped me fix it, so thank you.
*This is the second Treadmill friend I've owned **bestgym.equipment** t was easy to assemble and easier to fold than my last one. The controls are a lot better as well. I give it 5 stars!*
Haven't been able to use treadmill since noticing the belt was moving. Was worried not knowing how to adjust or put lubricant on the belt. Thank you for this very thorough video!
I've watched about 4 or 5 different videos on this and you explain it simpler than others. Yours is also the only one that I've seen the slip test on which was in part something I was looking for. - Thank you! -
Thank you for this clearly instructed video. No other video I found mentioned what tightening and loosening actually does to the roller, but your explanation of how it “pulls it forward to change the angle” is what clicked for me!
This is the clearest, most succinct, easy to understand instructional video I have seen on youtube. Nice work ! Thank you also for the information. I use my treadmill for 90 minutes a day, and it is just at the point where it needs some attention.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I spent more than an hour trying to fix my treadmill belt which slipped to one side without success. After watch this video, I was able to adjust the belt in less than 5 minutes. Another added bonus after watching this video, I now know how to lubricate the belt which I have not done since I bought the treadmill a couple years ago. Again, thank you very much for the wonderful instruction !!!
Thank you. Very helpful. I like that you covered both the straightening and the tension. And you explained the mechanics of it all which helped me to make sense of the adjustments.
Excelent instructor!!!You saved our lives.The manual of my treadmill was awful.They gave me wrong instructions.I was very sad until i saw your video.Thanks again.
Hey, thanks for the video. I spent my 2 hrs. of this morning in repairing my treadmill. And I was about to leave the hope, but then I remembered about you tube,and found this video . So thanks once again.
Thank you so much for putting together such a comprehensive and simple-to-follow instruction video. It truly is the best instructional video I've yet to watch. Your explanations and your voice are clear and concise. We followed your steps and the treadmill now runs very smoothly! I wish most "RUclipsrs" would follow your methods.
amazing help, I just invested in a threadmill for my home and this is exactly what I needed to have in my "favorites" to refer to in the future, thank you!
I’ve watched many videos in the past and never corrected it because how complex the process was explained. Recently treadmill was too off center, watched your vid, turned left screw 360, done. Thank you!!!!! First run getting back on the grind. Coulda stalled me had I not figured it out lol
Thank you so much sir I bought treadmill last night and I noticed the belt is on left side, and I am new I don’t know how to fix but your video helped me a lot, Today I will fix the way you taught.
commenting for the algorithm! however, my brother bought a used treadmill from a closing gym's auction and this guide (moreso the stomp test) helped us dial in the tension so we didnt have to stutter step while walking uphill. thanks to YOU!!
FANTASTIC AND VERY CLEAR RECORDING! THANKS SO MUCH. I HAVE RESURRECTED A PACEMASTER SILVER SELECT AND THIS IS THE FINAL ADJUSTMENT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION!!
Thank you. I watched maybe 10 different videos and yours was the first to actually explain it clearly enough to adjust my machine and fix all my issues of getting the belt to hot and squeaking - the original person who installed the machine tightened it too much.
Thank you, extremely helpful. The manual I received was not clear on which one to adjust first and how to adjust the tension. This was very straight forward!!
Clear and easy to understand. I particularly like the straightforward explanation of why you tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt to get the belt to move in the direction you want. Good job!
Straight to the point, covers how to center and belt, how to adjust tension and how centering and tension are both related when adjusting. Every new treadmill owner needs to see this video. Well done.
Damnn, Ur the god of Treadmill!! I spent like 2 hrs fixing the thing morning, Then watched this video and felt great after fixing the damn belt!! Thanks a ton!
Thank you so much this worked I tried without treadmill running as advised on another utube video but it didn’t work but when the treadmill is on it works thanks again
1.2 million views and counting ! Since tightening the left screw moved the belt to the right, I loosened it to move the belt to the left. As a result the belt was too loose. To move the belt to the left, I tightened to right screw! Better solution. 🙂
Best tuning video, I was really concerned about over adjusting the rollers, but this gave me the confidence to make adjustments while the unit was running!
Thank you soooooooo much I noticed my tredmill belt moving now I can fix it and stay fit hats off to you from Chicago 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much! Thanks to your detailed and easy to understand instructions I was able to fix my treadmill! Being single I can't tell you how much I appreciate videos like this!
I wanted to say thank you we have had to reference your video many times now and always come back for your clear and thorough explanation! Job well done!
This is a great video and it got the belt to run straight no problem. I think my issue is my belt is stretched. I can't seem to get it tight enough and it slips when it do the stomp test.

Thamk you I follow your instructions.. its perfect.. thanks again...
Execept does not the friction cause the belt to go wrong side, so he is actually saying the words wrong?
On the secont though friction does not do shit, its the angle.

Does adjusting for tension not change the angle?

Great job explaining the process! I love finding good quality videos made by people who obviously know what they're talking about. Thank you.

Hey, thanks for the video. I spent my 2 hrs. of this morning in repairing my treadmill. And I was about to leave the hope, but then I remembered about you tube,and found this video . So thanks once again.
This is the BEST explanation I Have found yet on how to center the belt. It was very useful you described how it works. Thank you so much!
Awesome video! You broke this down really well, thank you! Gonna do this right now.

Thank you for all the instructions. First thought that my treadmill is broken, after watching this, i've adjusted the beld perfecly.
Thank you for your help, my treadmill had been leaning to the left, not rubbing but annoying me until now!!

Thank you. You did more in your video than the sellers of my treadmill, no real instructions on how to do this.
Thank you for sharing these very important,yet informative and preventative maintenance tips!
commenting for the algorithm! however, my brother bought a used treadmill from a closing gym's auction and this guide (moreso the stomp test) helped us dial in the tension so we didnt have to stutter step while walking uphill. thanks to YOU!!
Thank you, very helpful video ! The trick was to do the adjustment with belt running to see the difference the turns were making.
So nicely spoken. Why can’t I work with people that calmly concisely get the job done.
FANTASTIC AND VERY CLEAR RECORDING! THANKS SO MUCH. I HAVE RESURRECTED A PACEMASTER SILVER SELECT AND THIS IS THE FINAL ADJUSTMENT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION!!
Thank you!!!!!!!! I just got a new treadmill and it kept going off to one side. I was so frustrated and this video was exactly what I needed!!!
Had been struggling for 1 hour after lubricating the belt. This video saved my day. Thanks
Absolutely superb explanation on how to adjust the running belt on my Kayoba treadmill. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the video! It saves me so much time! The user manual for my threadmill didn’t explain much on how to do it
I watched plenty of videos on how to adjust my treadmill and none of them where helpful thanks to your video I finally adjusted my belt thanks 🙏🏽
This reminded me what to do and gave me pointers on keeping it straight. Top top instructions
Thank you. I watched maybe 10 different videos and yours was the first to actually explain it clearly enough to adjust my machine and fix all my issues of getting the belt to hot and squeaking - the original person who installed the machine tightened it too much.
*For a Landice L7 treadmill it is a 14mm socket, and turning right makes it tighter. No need to remove any covers or anything.*
Thanks! I inherited an ancient treadmill and this was one of its problems. You explained it so even I could fix it! Thanks again!!
Found your video with the second try. You explained it in an easy way and made it easy to apply. Thank you for the precious information.
The best video on RUclips in regards tread mill belts adjustment.Thank You.
Thank you, extremely helpful. The manual I received was not clear on which one to adjust first and how to adjust the tension. This was very straight forward!!
Nice, thanks for the tips. I adjusted my belt really slowly and really tuned it in.
My belt was leaning to the left just as the video described. Learned how to fix it thanks to you. Much appreciated.
Excellent video and very well explained. Why can’t everything be this easy to understand. Thank you.
Clear and easy to understand. I particularly like the straightforward explanation of why you tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt to get the belt to move in the direction you want. Good job!

Best video I've found explaining how to get this nightmare problem sorted, my wife nearly had a breakdown 😂 thank you my friend👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank JTX this is an awesome how to guide on adjusting the belt. I have used this video everytime I have checked my belt.🤙🏽😃
Thank you. That was a quick and easy fix well explained. My treadmill was back up and running in just a few minutes thanks to you.
Damnn, Ur the god of Treadmill!!

Then watched this video and felt great after fixing the damn belt!!
Thanks a ton!
Sounds simple enough for me to try it. Your explanations were clear enough for me to start my own business lol. Thank you for posting.
Thank you so much this worked I tried without treadmill running as advised on another utube video but it didn’t work but when the treadmill is on it works thanks again
Straight to the point and makes me friends with my now slimming wife. What do you use to lubricate the belt? That is my next YT search.....
John I just want to take a moment and say. I appreciate you mate. Fixed the tready in a jiff. So bloody happy. Thanks John😉
thank you so much for this, i had forgotten how to do this! i saved this to my “watch later” which i treat like my favorites. awesome!
I hope, I would have watched your video before making any adjustments. Very well explained everything.
1.2 million views and counting ! Since tightening the left screw moved the belt to the right, I loosened it to move the belt to the left. As a result the belt was too loose. To move the belt to the left, I tightened to right screw! Better solution. 🙂

Best video ever, thank you for helping me adjust my treadmill belt.
Best tuning video, I was really concerned about over adjusting the rollers, but this gave me the confidence to make adjustments while the unit was running!
So helpful! Thank you! I accidentally unscrewed mine too much and had to try and fix the whole thing lol
Beautiful explanation. Really appreciate your effort in putting up this video
Your video was simple and concise. Bravo! Thank you.

Mate, thanks for your help. Saved me a lot of close falls.
Just want to say thanks for the great explanation, got my belt centered properly
Thank you for your help! I was going to throw my treadmill away and it turned out just to be a minor adjustment:)

He was great in explaining everything I needed to fix my treadmill....cool boots btw.
I wanted to say thank you we have had to reference your video many times now and always come back for your clear and thorough explanation! Job well done!
@Colin B - I would always recommend making the adjustment by hand this is due to the micro-adjustments needed to adjust the belt.
This is a great video and it got the belt to run straight no problem. I think my issue is my belt is stretched. I can't seem to get it tight enough and it slips when it do the stomp test.
Best video of adjusting treadmills on youtube!
You're an excellent instructor. Very clear and presise.
Thank you, I solved a problem that was lingering for several weeks.
Thank you for your help, you explained it in perfect way.
Thank you very much. I don’t know how to express my gratitude to you sir. It helped me a lot. Regards
Great demonstration - clear, concise and easy to follow.
