OK PEOPLE Listen up!
First thing you want to do is to align the belt:
-Start the treadmill at 3kmph
-if the belt is more on the left, we twist the screw on the left side clockwise to make the belt go right. If the belt is more on the right, we twist the right screw clockwise go left.
-Do 1/4 twist at a time because the adjustments can easily be seen every twist.
-Ensure that there's still a room for further twisting by not maxing out the rotations of the screw because it's needed for the next topic.
Now that we're done with alignment issues, next is about the belt tension that might cause the slippage of the belt. Turning the screw clockwise has it's limits because as you tighten it up, the tension of the belt increases so make sure to observe the following:
-ensure that the belt is aligned first
-ensure that the screws are not at their limit yet (not too tight).
-if you twist the left screw 1/4 clockwise, ensure that you do it on the right screw too to maintain the alignment
-do as many times as possible until slippage is gone and also observing that the screws are not at their limit.
Hope this helps.

These videos make no sense, you use the same hexagonal bolts on BOTH sides to centre the belt? But then you use the SAME hexagonal bolts to TIGHTEN to belt? This makes no sense whatsoever. Also the instructions DO NOT show this, this is ONLY to centre the belt and NOT to tighten it. Your instruction manual AND videos do not make sense. Now I am stuck with a treadmill that just sticks and slides, it is dangerous and unusable!

It seems like this means if you've already adjusted the belt correctly to center it, you will just mess it up again when you tighten as you will have to rotate the same screws? hahaha :-P I think what the instructor is saying is, to tighten the belt, BOTH left & right screws must be rotated at the same amount SIMULTANEOUSLY or in SUCCESSION. Whereas when aligning, you have the option to only rotate 1 screw or more until you've centered the belt. In short, make sure the belt is already CENTERED first before tightening it so it wont affect it's alignment.
