Treadmill belt slipping while your running on it? Look no further! Here's a video on how to potentially solve that problem with the top 3 most common reasons for why your belt is having issues. Hope this helps! 😉👍
Quick Note: If you have never performed maintenance by way of lubrication to belt and deck for years... You can't excpect to reverse the premature wear and tear by all of a sudden putting lube on because you likely destroyed the underside of the belt and or the walking deck.... Unfortunately
Preemptively covering the "but I hardly use it" rationale... Doesn't matter, why? one property of silicone as opposed to old school wax lubrication is over time silicone evaporates. Example if you go the whole summer and don't use it... chances are in fall it's dry as a bone... DO IT
A treadmill is a machine, and every machine needs maintenance... like a car.

The soap solution worked great! It sounded like the sound was coming from the front roll so I thought maybe I need to lubricate it's axis but the soap was the solution.

Soap? 🤔

@@hydrafitnessexchange I think it was another video. I've watched so many. I watched so many. Basically, you take handsoap (anything waxy) and rub it against the front rotor that the drive belt is on. It stops a high pitch (not exactly tough to describe) noise.

love this! by the way how would you know if its time to lubricate the belt? as in would there be squeaky noises as you run for example?

@hydrafitnessexchange 5 ай бұрын

Hi @endoneezer, in the video we mentioned you should lubricate your treadmill at least every 3-5 months under normal usage of the machine. You should not wait to hear squeaking before lubricating or any other sort of noise coming from the deck or belt. What you can do to be sure it's time is checking it every 3-5 months. You can simply loosen the walking belt, lift it, and place your hand on the deck, checking if the deck has any lubricant left on it. If it feels pretty dry, then you know its time to lubricate. If it feels still smooth like it has oil on it, then it should be good for sometime longer. Hope this helps! 😁

So we bought ours pre-owned pro form 2500 brand and it worked fine but after 30 to 40 minutes of using it the belt stops moving but everything still functions as soon as I step off it continues so I bought lubricant silicone put some under it and then it would stop even sooner now from 30 minutes to 20 not to 10 now till like 3 minutes but with my sibling it works for 30 minutes and I'm under the weight limit what else to do? 😅

I have not tightened the belt or done anything I can barely fit my hand under it not sure if it's too tight That's how It was when it came.

@hydrafitnessexchange 6 ай бұрын

Sounds like it may be the drive motor dying. If the belt is too tight and has been run on for a long time, that puts more pressure on the drive motor to do more work at spinning the belt. You can try loosening the belt or you can try replacing the drive motor, but that would easily cost anywhere around $300-$500. May be much more worth it to just get another machine. @@Disorbs

Some belts are silicone infused. Some belts, like ours, are dry paraffin wax. Something to be aware of.

@hydrafitnessexchange 5 ай бұрын

Mind dropping some info on the difference between silicone infused and dry paraffin wax? That information would definitely be useful to viewers as well as add to our own knowledge. 😁

Hi, i got issue with my belt move to left. I try to adjust the left by 1/4 and it still move to left. I try to loosen the right side but yet the belt still move to left. The nut at the left is already all the way tighten up. Should i loosen both left and right nut and try again?

@hydrafitnessexchange 7 ай бұрын

You should not tighten any of the bolts all the way. They should be fairly even with each other with minor tweaks. Here's a simple breakdown on how the belt moves: Loosen Left roller bolt - makes belt go left. Tighten Left roller bolt - belt goes right. Loosen right roller bolt - belt goes right. Tighten Right roller bolt - belt goes left. Hope this helps!

How do you remove the drive belt on a superfit treadmill?

@hydrafitnessexchange 19 күн бұрын

Some treadmills, like incline trainers, give access to internal components on the underside of the machine. The super fit treadmill may have screws on the underside of the motor hood. Basically, flip the treadmill and you will find a shroud underneath with screws in it. You might be able to access the internal components after unscrewing those. Here is a video we found that may help with the process:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bKuln6mqrbmvpYk.html&ab_channel=RudolfHorak

There’s actually one more reason, the front pulley could be slipping on the front roller.

It's a new belt. I just had a company install it, but im feeling slippage and I can bend the belt more that half way. Not sure if its standard or flexonic?@@hydrafitnessexchange
