Keeping your
treadmill clean and lubricated is vital. Below are some helpful tips
to make sure you get the most out of your machine
Cleaning the
treadmill:
-After use,
remove any sweat residues from the treadmill. The sweat corrodes your
treadmill, ruining the paint,
and predisposes the tool to rust. Sweat can also leave unpleasant
stains on the plastic.
-Once every 6
months, unplug the treadmill and leave it turned
off for 20 minutes, then remove the motor cover and hoover
it inside.
Lubrication
and tension of the belt:
The main cause of
damage to the treadmill is the lack of lubrication and excessive
tension.
Too much tension
puts excessive force on the motor and damages the belt,
the motor and the treadmill control board.
The procedure for
proper lubrication and tensioning of the belt and treadmill is
normally found in the user manual of your treadmill,
but is also reported at various posts on
our blog.
The bolts on the frame:
Once a month,
check that all the treadmill bolts are tight, except for those on the
wheels which, on the contrary, must leave a little play to allow easy
movement of the wheels. This will prevent the appearance of annoying
noises and click clacks on your treadmill.
