If we use the treadmill daily it might need maintenance regularly. Running of 180 hours on the treadmill might lose the belt. Drive belts usually last for longer time of 5 to 7 years.So you have to adjust the tension of the belt.
Keep enough tension in the drive belt
If a user wants to improve the motor efficiency it is necessary to connect the motor to the front wheel which helps the belt to spin.
Too little tension results in slippage, excess heat and high-pitched noise, or too tight belt produces tension causing stress on belts, bearings, and shafts. Prevent premature motor failure by adjusting the belt at a suitable place. The belt should be fixed half an inch of play.
To improve the efficiency of the motor align the belt properly and lubricate it on time. Keep in mind such useful options may help the user. When the belt slips off the track, the friction between the belt and drive pulleys causes the belt to overheat. If you hear a high-pitched noise, it's time to replace the belt with a new one.
How to Ascertain that the drive belt can still be used?
If you test Front-wheel by walking on the treadmill and the belt stops but the motor is still moving, It means that the drive belt is loose and needed to be tightened or replaced.
Keep in mind
There are some exercises that are not suitable for the treadmill like jumping on it. This kind of usage can be rough on your treadmill and lead to your treadmill belt slipping.
