Nihango! A query I get asked a lot here at the DOJO (and by my wife's pesky relatives) is: How the heck do I replace a damaged treadmill belt? If you discover your belt slipping, or your deck slowing down and quit, or if the edges of your treadmill belt look worn, frayed or curls up, then you may want to have your treadmill belt replaced. Fortunately, replacing the belt isn't as hard as you'd think. scam The quite initial issue you're going to want to do is take a look at your treadmill deck. If the deck looks to be in great shape then there is a excellent chance it just demands to be lubricated (or waxed). If you see signs of wear such as scratches or grooves then each the deck and belt are possibly going to want to be replaced. If the deck appears fine but your belt is torn, curling or frayed, it is time to replace the treadmill belt. Fortunately, treadmill producers have created it fairly straightforward to replace a belt even if you're not the Treadmill Sensei. Most important: Turn your treadmill off and eliminate the power cord! This way you don't get shocked and you'll guarantee the treadmill doesn't turn on while you are working on it. That would be undesirable. If your treadmill inclines (which most do), adjusting it a couple of degrees may make the operation a little simpler for you. You loosen the belt adjustment screws in the back of your treadmill's deck and then slide the rear roller forward and away from the belt. Get rid of the front roller and then the rear roller. There will be a quantity of screws along the sides of the deck which attach the deck to the rest of the treadmill. Remove those and you will be capable to get rid of your deck. At this point you can slide your belt off. Now is a ideal time to go ahead and lubricate your deck as properly. From there, put on your new belt and reassemble your deck. Taking the time to wax your treadmill deck even though the belt is off may possibly be a very good notion. It'll hold you from getting to do it all over again later on. Finally, after you have it all back with each other you happen to be going to want to test the adjustment. Begin your treadmill at a slow speed and walk on it firmly. If the belt stops, hesitates or changes speed then you're going to want to adjst the rear screws. Adjust as required till you are certain the belt isn't slipping or altering speed. And there you have it, how to replace a treadmill belt. -The Treadmill Sensei
