Endurance TF3i Folding Treadmill Questions & Answers
Recently started making a thumping, dragging noise when operating and ripples have formed in the center of the belt.
Those ripples sound like the product of an old belt from it stretching over time, you may just need to replace the belt.
If you have a two sided deck, it is best for the machine when putting in a new belt to flip that deck or if you don't have a flippable deck to get a new deck along with that new belt.
When you replace these items it is a good idea to go ahead and perform maintenance on a few other items, including but not limiting it to your Motor Control Board, Front and Rear rollers, and by maintenance we just mean clean and remove debris or dust bunnies from the treadmill.
It will help the life of those other components along with being a must, especially on those front and rear rollers when replacing the deck and belt.
Do not forget to lubricate your belt and deck after proper installation.

Do treadmill rollers need to be oiled
for the most part treadmills are self sustainable and do not need oiling or maintenance but you can check the owners manual for your model to see if you should or can do so. (Google is your friend).

Hi There,
Actually it means you have been a avid user of your unit.
Unplug the unit remove the motor shroud, then go to the end of your unit I believe it uses an allen wrench loosen the belt. Now while at this portion count how many times you have turn the bols son each side then write it down so when you are ready to apply the same tension you be in the ball park. Now what you need to do is actually see if it is the front unraveling or it is the running belt. then that said done call BH and order the part or parts needed complete the repair or ask them if they have a reliable servicer in the area to complete the repair for you.
What does error 1 mean
error 1 simply means no belt movement generally. If belt moves a little it could be the speed sensor but generally it's the motor controller.
How accurate are the calorie counters on treadmills and cardio equipment?
Here's what the Sole exercise equipment makers say about calorie counters on exercise equipment. it's from their E-95 users manual: "Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!"
What do i do when the belt skips while u are on it?
This is caused by one of three problems. First and most likely, the
walking belt is loose. To tighten the belt, start by locating the two
bolts that adjust the rear roller (one on each side of the unit in the
back). Run the unit at about 3 mph. Tighten the bolts a 1/4 turn at a
time. Make sure that what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other
side or the belt will get off center. After you tighten it 1/4 turn,
check the belt to see if it is still slipping. If it is then tighten
the belt 1/4 turn again. Continue until the belt does not slip, but do
not tighten the bolts more than 2 full turns. If it takes more than 2
turns then something else is the problem. The second problem that it
could be is the drive belt might be loose. To tighten the drive belt,
start by removing the front cover. loosen the bolts around the motor
then tighten the drive belt by tightening the motor adjuster bolt. Once
the drive belt is tight, tighten the motor back down. The third
problem that it could be is the walking belt could be worn and need to
be replaced. Let me know if you have any questions.
Treadmill adjustment
"The best treadmills are those that provide you easy access to belt tracking. But, even the best treadmills with the most easily accessible belt tracking are also susceptible to stretch slightly under initial use. That is why it is important that you adjust the tread belt every so often to keep it away from stretching.
Most manufacturers include the Allen wrench (a tool consisting of a hexagonal head and an L-shaped bar) in the package when you buy a treadmill from them. Use it to tighten both the belt adjustment screws clockwise. If your manufacturer did not supply you with an Allen wrench, use another of the right size.
A ¼ turn, clockwise should tighten treadbelt if it has loosened. The screws for belt adjustment are usually located at the rear end of the treadmill. Some belts do require looser running than others so don’t be surprised if your treadbelt is a little loose even when you haven’t actually used it. Check the user’s guide before making adjustments just to make sure that whatever you are doing is correct.
Moreover, be sure to keep the belt running at a low speed of around 3 mph when adjusting the belt tracking. This is the ideal speed when making any adjustments with the screws.
Maintaining your treadmill is necessary to upkeep it's performance and looks. A little bit of adjustment here and there can make your treadmill a life long companion. "
When keeping speed, incline, etc equal, I find some treadmills harder to run on than others. Why?
Theres going to be several reasons that is the case.
First and most obvious is the caliberation aspect. The machines are not going to be perfect, and such things as the belt stretching with age means older machines will be less acurate, and depending on the technology cost etc. all machines will read slightly differently.
Second is the conditions of the room your working in. Hotter conditions will work you harded; dry air, humid air etc. All will make a difference to your percieved exertion and how quickly you are tiring.
Another factor is the surface, run a mile on flat concrete, a mile on flat asphalt; and feel the difference. The concrete is much harder and less forgiving, and so will tire your leg muscles quicker as they cope with the additional shock. The same occurs on treadmills, less shock absorbtion in the surface will mean your legs tire quicker.
There are other factors that can make a difference as well, such as the way the display is set up, which can mentally motivate you more or less depending on how its laid out, what it shows etc.
Its not in your head though, but there are many reasons; one gym and machine will not be the same as another.
Select a Treadmill for Walking
Price
You get what you pay for when it comes to treadmills, but for most of us any treadmill is going to be a significant investment. When you shop by price you must be even more careful to select the best in that price range. The price ranges generally break down to Budget $500-$1500, Mid-Range $1500-$3000 and Quality $3000-up. There are often significant sales and discounts.
The Motor and Horsepower
The motor matters - it is what gets the heaviest workout. The horsepower ratings can be confusing, the figure you want to look at is the "continuous duty rating" and shop for 1.5 to 2.5 HP "continuous duty". The "peak duty" rating is less valuable. The "treadmill duty" rating falls between continuous and peak. Look for the longest warranty on the motor, 1 year at least. DC motors are quieter.
Stability and Smooth Ride
Test treadmills wearing your workout shoes and clothes. A shaky or jerky ride is not acceptable. The hand rails should feel sturdy enough to support you and be in a good position to grip easily and not block your arm motion. The belt must be wide enough and long enough for your stride.
Workout Features
Boredom kills treadmills. Choose a model that has the most pre-set and programmable workouts to vary pace and incline. The incline and speed should be easily adjustable from the console. A pulse monitor is a big plus. A water bottle holder and book rack are essential for me. Some models plug into a VCR, CD, or internet for new workouts. Books or videos on how to use your treadmill effectively can get you going in the right direction.

Noise and Space
The treadmill needs to work in your space. How noisy is it? If you plan to watch TV or listen to music, you need to be able to hear those over the treadmill itself. A model that looks small in the store can turn into an elephant in your spare room. Check its size when folded or stored and test how easy it is to move.
Endurance t-10 treadmill stock with incline at maximum
The Endurance T-10 treadmill may not be coming down from its maximum incline position due to a problem with the incline motor, mechanism, or control board. Try checking connections, control board for error codes, and the incline control switch. If the issue persists, consider seeking repair from the manufacturer or a professional. Remember to unplug the treadmill from power before troubleshooting.
