If
you have a noisy treadmill and you want to locate and solve the cause
of the noise, you can do so by performing some checks.
• First
understand if noise occurs with a user on the machine, without
anyone, or in both cases.
• Noise
during training on the machine usually indicates a problem in the
engine, chassis, screws, or deck.
• If
noise appears even without anyone and gets stronger as speed
increases, it usually means a bearing has worn out.
• Any
noise coming from the top of the treadmill indicates the wear of the
front roller bearings, the rear roller or the drive motor. After
disassembling the plastic covers, it should be possible to understand
where the noise originates.
If
you do not understand where the noise comes from:
• Disconnect
the machine from the power and remove the motor cover
• Remove
the drive belt from the engine
• Push
the belt back or forth with just your hands and listen if it makes
noise.
• If
you hear a noise it is likely to come from the front or rear roller.
• If no noise is heard, try restarting the
treadmill. Now the belt will not turn and probably the engine will
stop after a few seconds. If you hear noise at this point it is
likely to come from the engine, and usually indicates damage to the
manifold.
