COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Are the sounds my treadmill makes normal?
All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers,
especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may not totally go
away. Over time, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
Why is the treadmill | had delivered louder than the one at the store?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more
background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted
concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy a
rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed / T N E 6
close to a wall, there will be more

When should | be worried about a noise?
As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone
of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your treadmill is louder than this, you may want to
call your service technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
MAINTENANCE
What kind of routine maintenance is required?
We use sealed bearings throughout our treadmill so
lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your
perspiration off the treadmill after each use.
How do | clean my Horizon Fitness Treadmill?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use
solvents on plastic parts.
Tensioning the running belt
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be
tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a
normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, tension both the rear roller bolts
with the appropriate sized Allen wrench (Alpine - 8mm, Paragon Il/Quantum Il/Omega Il -
6mm), turning it |/4 TURN as shown below. Try the treadmill again to check for slipping.
Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the roller bolts more than |/4 turn at a time. The
belt tension is set properly when the running belt is 1/4 of an inch from the deck.
If the belt is too far to the left side:
|. Turn the left roller bolt | /4 turn clockwise (tighten).
2. Turn the right roller bolt |/4 turn counterclockwise (loosen).
If the belt is too far to the right side:
|. Turn the right roller bolt | /4 turn clockwise
(tighten).
2. Turn the left roller bolt 1/4 turn
counterclockwise (loosen).
