If you have e a
problem on the treadmill, you want to know definitely the magnitude
of the problem, if there is one or more damaged pieces, and know how
to repair them.
The
first thing you should consider is if the equipment is still under
warranty. Sometimes treadmills are sold without warranty or the
warranty does not cover certain types of faults, for example those
caused by incorrect maintenance. Therefore, if your treadmill is not
equipped, you will have to buy some replacement parts to fix your
treadmill. The most effective way to find replacements is buying on
the internet, through sites such as www.partsfortreadmill.com.
Always contact a specialist in order to have quality parts. Component
manufacturers often improve their parts (especially electronic) due
to changes in technology and it is better to buy the latest versions
which usually address various defects in earlier versions (p.es.
reduce electricity consumption).
Running belt is one
of the pieces that gets damaged more easily. It requires a little
research before you buy it and replace it. Be careful because the
part has to be compatible with your machine. Contact specialized
companies and with a wide range of standard products. If you purchase
a standard size belt it will be easier to replace it with another one
in case you mistake size. Customized ones are almost impossible to
replace in case of mistake. Also, the age of the running belt is very
important. After a few years (regardless of usage) the belt loses
some of its elasticity. Some dealers keeps the belt in stock for
years. If the belt comes from old stock, you might buy a belt with a
high friction factor and this can cause problems to your treadmill.
The best way to
reduce need of repairs is to buy a quality treadmill, reliable and
suitable for your needs. Many people and dealers still think that for
rehabilitation and walking any treadmill could be fine. It’s the
opposite! Treadmill undergoes heavy load, because it must "carry"
the user and thus acts more like a conveyor belt than as a treadmill.
For rehab and walking it’s much better to choose products with AC
motor (the same technology used on commercial gym equipment).
Unfortunately many people still don’t know this. Shops with
experience in service will suggest you a good deal and guarantee that
your investment will last over time. In addition, if you take care of
your treadmill, you’ll reduce the risk of damages.
