Often
when observing the walking belt we stop to check if the belt is ok.
We look at the side edges, we see that they look normal, we feel that
the belt is in a good condition, the belt is in the right place.
However, even in this situation the belt might still need to be
replaced.
The lack of visible external signals that the belt
has to be replaced, it is not a full insurance that all is fine. The
belts are more likely to have problems on the bottom (white texture)
than on the upper black side. On the texture side any problem will
result in increased treadmill electrical consumption (which in a
short time make electricity much more expensive than you would have
spent on a new belt) and may bring to failure of expensive components
such as controller and motor.
The
following picture, from the technical service manual of a well-known
European manufacturer of fitness and medical equipment, shows that
when you see the black cloth appear on the underlying ribbon, this is
to be replaced, although the outer rubber still looks good and even
if the edges (where you do not walk) the belt appears still white.
