Having a treadmill at home can help you maintain a regular fitness routine easily and conveniently. You only need to do some simple maintenance at ordinary times, it will always be in good running condition, and play its role as much as possible, so a good quality and well-maintained treadmill has a service life of 8-10 years. Maintaining a treadmill can be tedious, but it will ensure that you are in good shape while using it. So what do you need to pay attention to in the maintenance of the treadmill? The following suggestions are worth your consideration.

First, add lubricating oil

The treadmill manufacturer may provide instructions on how to lubricate the treadmill. The key part is that the lubricating oil should be added to the bottom of the running belt during operation, especially the bottom area of the middle part that contacts the running belt more during running. Before applying lubricating oil, you need to loosen the running belt and re-tighten it when you are finished. The cycle for adding lubricating oil depends on the frequency of use, the amount of running and the type of lubricating oil used. Generally speaking, use less than 3 hours per week, you can add lubricating oil to the treadmill every 6 months, use 3-5 hours per week, you can lubricate and maintain once every 3 months, use more than 5 hours per week, you can lubricate and maintain once every 1 month.

Second, internal vacuum

Be sure to close and unplug the power plug, then open the motor cover, and then use a small vacuum cleaner to suck out the internal dust, while being careful not to direct the vacuum cleaner's vacuum nozzle to some precision parts to avoid component failure. It is recommended to clean the inside of the treadmill once a year.

Three, clean the fuselage

When you run on a treadmill, your sweat will also drip onto the treadmill. The accumulation of sweat stains on the treadmill will cause the metal parts to rust and easily breed bacteria, so the work of cleaning the body is very important. It is recommended to equip the treadmill with a cleaning kit, usually a soft cotton cloth and non-acid cleaning agent is more suitable.

Fourth, the running belt is centered

Centering the running band ensures that you can run safely and smoothly. If you notice that the treadmill moves slowly, slows down automatically without adjusting the speed, or you feel like you are about to slip, it is likely that the running belt is running off, and the curved running belt is easy to wear. Therefore, when the running belt deviation phenomenon occurs, it can be restored under no-load operation or use a wrench to adjust the screws of the running belt.

5. Lay out treadmill MATS

A dedicated treadmill pad under the treadmill has many benefits, not only to prevent floor damage, but also to act as a floor soundproofing effect, but also to reduce the accumulation of dust on the bottom of the treadmill, which also makes it easier for you to schedule cleaning.

Six, check the running belt and running plate

Check the running belt and the running plate for signs of wear, especially the running belt, once the running belt is excessively worn, be sure to replace it, which can improve the overall service life of the treadmill.

Vii. Regional environment

Try to keep the treadmill around free of pet hair, carpet fibers, dirt and dust, which can cause potential damage to the treadmill motor and control board, and maintenance of the motor often requires more expensive maintenance costs.

Eight, stability detection

It is recommended to test the nuts and bolts of the treadmill frame every month to ensure that they are in a tight condition. In addition, the support frame between the head and the body of the treadmill should also be stable and safe, and there will be no shaking during normal use of the treadmill.

9. Electrical problems

You also need to look out for electrical problems. If you smell a burning smell while running on the treadmill, you should immediately stop using and unplug the power plug, and then check the problem to eliminate fire hazards. In addition, check the power cord regularly for signs of damage or replacement.

Ten, professional maintenance
