Your walking belt for treadmill is more delicate because it is more exposed to contact and therefore prone to damage. This article explains the general pointers in doing a check up on the belt as well as how to replace it. How do you check signs of damages?

The major components of the treadmill that require special attention are the deck and the belt. If the belt is not properly taken cared of, the deck’s mechanical operation will also get affected.

Keeping the belt in good shape is important especially if you’re using the treadmill everyday. You will know if your belt needs replacement if you notice these items.

- When it curls on its edges.

- The treadmill speed slows down when you step onto the deck.

- When obvious grooves appear on your treadmill belt.

You may need to replace the belt if the walking surface generally looks worn-out. Otherwise, it may only need lubrication or waxing to keep it functional.

If one or two signs of damages are present, you may have to replace your belt. If you do not have the instruction manual, here are the basic instructions.

Removing the belt

- Make sure the treadmill is unplugged. Your treadmill must not be connected to a power supply.

- Look for the hood of the treadmill’s motor and remove it.

- Loosen and remove the screws on both sides to take out the rear roller. These are the same screws affecting the tension of the belt.

- The same procedure applies to the front roller. Incline the board if the screws are not accessible.

- Once the screws are removed, you can now take out the front and rear rollers.

- Remove the belt.

Replacing the belt for treadmill

- The belt and the deck must be laid together side-by-side. Slide the belt over the deck and align.

- Replace the drive motor belt over the drive gear by sliding the front roller inside the belt.
