VerifiedTo adjust the walk belt you will need to try to adjust the screws in the back of the treadmill through the end caps. These are allen wrench screws. Tighten each one the same amount such as 1 full turn to start with. See if you can now walk without it slipping. If not then tighten 1-2 more turn on both sides. If after 2-3 full turns it is not tight enough I would recommend replacing the walk belt. That is if you have already checked the drive belt to be good.
To adjust the drive belt: You will need to loosen the motor bolts and push back on the motor and hold it in place with a crow bar or something else and tighten the bolts. On certain models there is no adjustment and all you can do is replace the belt because the belt is in a fixed position. Still others use a idler pulley to press down on the belt to give it tension, again these are not adjustable only replacing will fix a problem. I am not sure which set up in the motor compartment your model has, But I believe I covered all scenarios.

there should be about 1/4 turn deflection and as far as the treadmill walk belt it should be able to be lifted in the center approx. 2"
