The firstborn thing you are going to want to do is get a good treadmill mat to go under your unit.

The charge will suck dust, lint and debris into your motor, causing it to clog and run inefficiently. The more gunk in your motor the worse it will run and the shorter it is lifetime will be. Sliding a nice treadmill mat under your instrumentation will help reduce that static and the amount of stuff getting sucked up in it. As a bonus, you’ll likewise be protecting your floor and carpet.

Supermat is a outstanding brand of treadmill mat and may be purchased for as low as $35.

Tip #2

Tip #3

I know it’s going to sound over obvious, but make sure to keep your power cord well away from the base of the unit and the incline mechanism. You have no idea how numerous cords we end up replacing on our service calls.

Tip #4

If you find your belt slipping, it may be because the belt tracking is off. You may adjust your tracking the same way you make sure the belt is the right way aligned, with the alignment screws at the rear of your treadmill. An allen wrench is all you need. A quick quarter clockwise turn will have to tighten everything back up. Make sure never to turn either side more than a quarter turn at any given time because you the adjustments levels are very fine. Keeping your belt aligned will reduce the load on you treadbelt and belt guides. Check out your owner’s manual for more information.

A lot of times the cause of miss aligned on a treadbelt is from the unit not being level. Make sure to get your treadmill level.

The best way to judge a low friction belt is that it will slide when the power is off and you may manually walk the belt when the treadmill is powered down. Improper lubrication may lead to overworking your motor.
