Treadmill Maintenance Questions
How long do treadmills last?
According to what the manufacturers say, the average life of a treadmill is about 10 years. However, if you take care of your treadmill properly and lubricate the belt regularly, you can make it last longer. Nevertheless, some of the parts might still fail, and it does not mean that you need a new machine.
How often should I lubricate my treadmill belt?
Generally, depending on use, two to four times a year proper belt lubrication will help keep your treadmill in optimum condition and reduce needed repairs over time. We recommend you lubricate your treadmill once every three month using one ounce of lube per each application.

What causes a treadmill to stop suddenly?
Treadmills require lubrication to limit the amount of friction between the platform and belt. When the friction increases to a certain point, the machine is automatically set to power off. This may be the cause for the machine to stop working suddenly.
What wears out on a treadmill?
Whether you have purchased a great treadmill for home or a lesser quality model, the belt will eventually wear out. You should check your belt for signs of wear at least once every three months. To check for wear, run your hand along the belt’s underside.
Is it better to walk outside or on a treadmill?
A treadmill provides a predictable and consistent walking environment, but may not burn as many calories. Walking outside offers a varied environment and terrain, but could be unpredictable or hazardous. Ultimately, the best option for you is the one you enjoy the most and that most easily fits into your routine.
Can I use WD-40 on my treadmill?
NO. You always want to use a lubricant that is specifically for treadmills, and never products like WD-40 or any type of oil. To put it another way, using the wrong lubricant can damage your treadmill belt and many treadmill manufacturers suggest using 100% silicone, which can be found as a spray or liquid.

Should you unplug your treadmill when not in use?
The right thing to do, to preserve the treadmill’s functionality, is to turn it off and unplug it after every use. Apart from extending its life, you will also reduce your energy consumption. Small changes matter when it comes to expensive electrical equipment.
How do I know if my treadmill drive belt is bad?
If you step on the treadmill and its belt stops running but the motor is still running, then you should check out the front roller. If the roller and the pulley also stops, then this is a clear indication that the drive belt is worn out.
What happens if you don’t lubricate a treadmill?
The consequences of not keeping your treadmill well lubricated can be very costly. Firstly, too much friction can lead to motor or controller board burnout, premature degradation of the treadmill belt and/or delamination of the board, and dramatically higher energy consumption.
How do I know if my treadmill needs lubricant?
Once the treadmill belt is loosened, lift it up slightly and put your hand under it. If the inner surface is dry, with no apparent coating of oil, it’s time to lubricate. On the other hand, if you remove your hand to discover it has some oil on it, there’s no need to lubricate.
How do you fix a treadmill belt that won’t move?
Check the drive belt for proper alignment. With the cover still off, check over the wire and cable connections, as they may have become loose or disconnected during shipping or assembly. Make sure connections are secure and no wires are crimped, damaged, disconnected or burnt.
Why does my treadmill slow down and stop?
A damaged walking belt, improper belt tension, lack of belt lubricant or a bad drive motor can cause the walking belt to slow down when you step on the belt. Unplug the treadmill, then check the walking belt for damage and replace the belt if it’s torn.
Are treadmill belts Universal?
Treadmill belts are not universal. The main issue is that belt sizes vary from treadmill to treadmill, so you can’t be sure if a belt that wasn’t made for your specific treadmill make and model will work.

It depends in particular some magnetic treadmill keys rest on a small indentation, in which case you may be able to find a magnet that fits. However, if the magnetic key has to slide into a slot, locating a compatible replacement is necessary.
Can you bypass a treadmill key?

However, at the same time, most owner’s manuals do not recommend operating treadmills without the safety features in place. Operating your machine without a safety key may lead to a potentially dangerous situation

First thing to remember, properly lubricating the running deck is necessary to keep moving parts on your treadmill in the best shape possible. For example, most treadmills require to be lubricated every six months or 150 miles, whichever comes first. Silicone-based spray or treadmill lubricant often works as the best lubricant for treadmills.
