A query I get asked a lot here at the DOJO (and by my wife's pesky relatives) is: How the heck do I replace a damaged treadmill belt?

If you locate your belt slipping, or your deck slowing down and quit, or if the edges of your treadmill belt look worn, frayed or curls up, then you may want to have your treadmill belt replaced. Luckily, replacing the belt is not as hard as you'd feel.

The quite initial issue you're going to want to do is take a look at your treadmill deck. If the deck looks to be in great shape then there is a great chance it just wants to be lubricated (or waxed). If you see signs of wear such as scratches or grooves then both the deck and belt are most likely going to require to be replaced.

If the deck appears fine but your belt is torn, curling or frayed, it's time to replace the treadmill belt. Fortunately, treadmill producers have created it fairly easy to replace a belt even if you're not the Treadmill Sensei.

Most critical: Turn your treadmill off and eliminate the energy cord! This way you don't get shocked and you'll guarantee the treadmill doesn't turn on even though you're working on it. That would be bad. If your treadmill inclines (which most do), adjusting it a few degrees might make the operation a little easier for you.

You loosen the belt adjustment screws in the back of your treadmill's deck and then slide the rear roller forward and away from the belt. Eliminate the front roller and then the rear roller. There will be a quantity of screws along the sides of the deck which attach the deck to the rest of the treadmill. Remove those and you are going to be capable to take away your deck.

At this point you can slide your belt off. Now is a perfect time to go ahead and lubricate your deck as effectively. From there, place on your new belt and reassemble your deck.

Taking the time to wax your treadmill deck even though the belt is off may be a good idea. It'll keep you from getting to do it all more than once again later on.

Finally, as soon as you have it all back with each other you happen to be going to want to test the adjustment. Start off your treadmill at a slow speed and stroll on it firmly. If the belt stops, hesitates or modifications speed then you happen to be going to require to adjst the rear screws. Adjust as necessary till you are sure the belt is not slipping or changing speed.

And there you have it, how to replace a treadmill belt.
