If you have adjusted the tension on your belt to the max, it is more than likely time to replace your running belt. The running belt naturally stretches over time. I would suggest replacing the belt and flipping your deck. If the deck has already been flipped once, then you would need to replace the deck as well.

Adjusting Tension on a Treadmill Running Belt
It is necessary to properly tension a treadmill belt when it is replaced. After time, a belt can stretch and may begin to slip. When this happens, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the running belt to stop it from slipping. Manufacturers of treadmills generally agree on one of three procedures for how to tension a treadmill running belt.
Adjust for no slippage of the treadmill walking belt on the front roller (Often referred to as the "Stomp Test")
This procedure works well for a previously installed belt that is now slipping.
Underside of belt should be free of any glazing/wax buildup.
Rollers must also be free of wax buildup.
Be sure belt tracking/centering is correct before proceeding.
The most popular speed for this adjustment is 2mph to 3mph.
Try to slow the belt by applying pressure with your foot against the belt movement while grasping the handrails. If the running belt slow, slips or stops (and the front roller does not) adjust BOTH adjustment bolts 1/4 turn clockwise. Test again and repeat adjustment if necessary.
This procedure works well when installing a new belt.
This procedure requires you to stretch the belt. Depending on the manufacturer*, this varies between .4 and .6 percent. A dial on the gauge or caliper will indicate the amount of stretch. *Consult the owner/service manual for proper tension.
If you are working on a previously tensioned belt you will need to release the tension before attaching the gauges or calipers.
Gauges or Calipers unavailable
Release the tension on the belt.
Using a yard stick or tape measure, place two marks on the left and right edges of the belt and deck 36 inches apart (or 50 inches if you prefer).
Adjust the left and right tensioning bolts until both sides measure 36 3/16 inches (or 50 1/4). This is equal to .5% of stretch.
Test for proper tracking and tension, adjust if necessary.
If the treadmill belt continues to slip even after you have adjusted the rear roller bolts, then it is time to replace the running belt. These belts do stretch over time and must be replaced when they stretch to the point that it can no longer be tightened enough to not slip. https://www.sportsmith.com/walking-belt/product/31332
hi, Here is the steps to adjust the treadmill belt, (1). Turn off the treadmill and remove the plug from the wall outlet to make sure it doesn't turn on during the readjustment process.
(2).Tighten the roller bolts on the rear of the treadmill belt with an Allen wrench. Tighten both the right and left bolts with 1/4 turns.
(3).Avoid tightening the bolts more than 1/4 of a turn at a time. If the belt is tightened too much, it may cause damage to the belt, which would require a replacement.
(4).Plug the treadmill into the wall and press "Power."
(5). Select a program and begin walking. If the treadmill is still slipping, turn off the treadmill, unplug it and tighten the bolt a 1/4 turn again until it is properly adjusted.
