Finally, retighten the two outer lock nuts (C) to
secure the new adjustment and retigthen the two
axle nuts (B). At last reattach the maintenance
covers (A).
Check if belt drive is rmly tighten and does not
slip while riding under resisted load. In case the
belt slips, proceed using the same technique as
described above. Please note that a belt drive gear
never shows slack. In case of adjustment do not
apply too much tension.
The manufacturer recommends using an ultrasonic
voltage meter adhering to a natural frequency of
the belt of 3200 Hz ± 150Hz. Ball bearing damage
due to incorrect belt tension is excluded
from warranty.

5. Belt drive
Important: A loose belt as well as an
overtightened belt may cause injury of the rider
or damage to the drive system. Checking belt
tension: to check for a loose belt, sit on the
saddle, place your feet on the pedals, move the
pedals until the crank arms are horizontal. Next,
push down the emergency brake lever and hold it.
Then, stand on the pedals and rock forward and
backward. There should be no play or slip in the
drive train. If there is slip or play in the drive train,
this indicates that the belt is too loose.
Correct a slipping belt drive train: to adjust
the belt, pull off the right and the left maintenance
covers (A). Loosen the axle nut (B) on both ends
of the ywheel axle by two full turns. Loosen the
inner adjustment nut (D) facing the ywheel axle
on each side of the ywheel. Next, loosen the
lock nut (C).
Then, turn both (right and left sides) of the inner
adjustment nuts (D) on the inside of the ywheel
bracket ¼ of a turn at a time (upward on the R side
and downward on L side) until the belt is properly
adjusted. Make sure to turn both adjustment nuts
exactly the same amount to avoid misalignment of
the ywheel. Re-check if the amount of play or slip
in the drive train has disappeared.
