How To Lubricate A Treadmill Belt

[@a3a14613]

Thanks! Simple, straightforward instructions with no long-winded extra chatter.

[@allie8443]

Thank you! This helps but You didn’t mention how much oil to use?🤷‍♀️

[@MysticRose559]

bro im so dumb the instructions were so unclear so i just poured the lubricant on top of the belt LMAO SO NOW ITS JUST STAINED and then i watched this vid

[@jonathanacevedo4335]

Loooool, it’s okay. You learned how to do it now xD

[@ashleenicole71]

I came here to make sure it goes under not over😂😂

[@moedem]

There’s a lesson in this 😂

If you lube the top, you'll be at fast as Mohammad Farah 👍🏽

It's in Chinese?

[@RMGiroux]

Thank you very much - the instructions that came with my treadmill were nowhere near this clear!

[@MrOrvel]

Me too, the Instructions that came with my treadmill didn’t really tell me anything

[@krisjennings7239]

Thank you! I watched a couple of how-to videos on this topic, yours was the best.

[@AbhishekAgarrwal]

Thanks for the video... helpful to understand this important part of lubricating the treadmill belt.

[@kristiobrien6652]

[@bass-clefbongo5699]

What should I use as a lubricant?

[@spaaggetii]

Cheers mate, fixed my brothers brand new 600$aud OVICX A2s using this guide, (Edit: my OTHER brother lubed it up but the belt was grinding on one side which has made it slightly frayed). Wasnt sure if it was compatible. Now I can shed some kilos!! Not to mention the nephews can run and push it to its limits and destroy it faster than I can try to fix it haha

[@anarchisttutor7423]

How do you know if your treadmill needs oil, either by its behavior or by feeling under the belt? I assume it should feel like there's only a thin film of oil on the platform.

[@vineetsharma2103]

Thanks for this video. This is simple yet effective. 👍

[@rayl3103]

Thanks for getting to the point! Great video!!!

[@Engineerboy100]

Great job on the video and a reminder that I need to lubricate my belt lol Thanks!

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

[@haircuthunny26]

Thank you! Great video! Treadmill glides so much better now!

[@nancygoldberg3712]

You made it look easy. I hope I do it right. Not sure I understand what you feel when you put your hand under the belt. Is it just the belt?

[@shawnwhalan8647]

Concerning the treadmills that don't have easy belt access, to keep you from having to loosen, tighten and re-align the belt (what a pain) , simply stand the machine on end and apply belt lube to the under side of the belt. May take two people.

[@photovore099]

Thumbs up for the lube toss cut scene....!!!

[@Peppermint1]

Warning: direct heat will cause the lubricant to dry up very fast. Don't place the unit by a window with direct sunlight or near a heating element at home - including when the unit is in the folded position.

[@cpv563]

This video was a lot of help!! Thank you!!!! Just show lube belt in my walking machine

[@natashaelazegui4501]

Thank you for this video. How much oil should we apply?

[@djGreenALERT]

I use 15ml (with a syringe) on each side, totalling 30ml per application every 3 months (Or more if used more than 3 times a week.)

[@blueberrykid500]

My treadmill came with silicone oil lubricant. However the lid POPPED OFF when I was lubricating and now I must clean up extra oil. Any recommendations? I am currently trying, on advice from googling, laundry detergent w warm water & Isopropyl Alcohol (91%)

[@Dehalove]

Great video!

[@VivekSingh-kg5ql]

some videos say loosening the tensioner while running it at the speed of 4...Do we really need to do that? And my tensioner is too tight, is it normal ?

Nicely done.What could b d reason when d motor gets to ho

[@saqibaqeel6366]

Where could I buy lubricant from???

[@MrMorisman]

if I lubricated with oil 3 months ago and did not use tape, do I have to lubricate again?

[@0v3rd0s]

I have a question. How did you become so cool with that creative bottle in air transition lol. In all honesty, it was wholesome but a great edit altogether. Thanks for the video

[@roddaniel972]

What kind of lubricant? Can you us the spray lubricant?

[@new-knowledge8040]

Take care of it, and it lasts a long long time. I have a SCHWINN 6700.1 treadmill that I purchased on April 2, 1999. To lube it, all I have done is take a big white candle and scrape off small bits of wax with a cheese grater, and then I evenly distribute the bits of wax under the belt. Works like a charm. Other than that, I have replaced the motor belt, once. There was a nasty scratch on the front plastic cover that covers the motor area, so I sanded it down, but now the sanded area looked grey instead of dark black. So I applied the same candle wax to the area and heated it up with a hair drier to make the wax easily distributed, and boom, after polishing you couldn't tell where the scratch was anymore.

[@PrecisionFitnessEquipment]

so some treadmills require a wax which sounds like the one you have. Those typically do not require reapplication unless you have replaced the deck or gone over 20,000 miles.

[@new-knowledge8040]

@@PrecisionFitnessEquipment I check the temperature of the walking belt now and then after a workout. If it is getting warm, I then add wax. After that, it is back to being cool again after workouts, and stays like that for a long long time.

[@sopheakpeou9657]

at the bottom, the carpet is well centered, but at the top it runs to the left, what could be the problem?

[@francoiselizabeth481]

What if you mistaken to put the oil at the wrong place. How can one clean it off?

[@rolandsequeira]

what about cleaning dust under the belt before you put oil?

[@noorainimyasin8649]

Thank you for this v clear video. I got my old treadmill 2nd hand frm o friend. Have used for about 3 to 4 years not knowing I had to do this as no manual was given. It now suddenly stops. After I mistakenly sprayed with WD40 found out on google search I had to lubricate with a silicon lubricant and not WD40. I bought one online but instead of stopping suddenly at 20 mins it now stops after 1 min. I live in Malaysia where there does not seem to be much help. Please please tell me what I can do

[@edrivera1349]

That's a very helpful demo on lubricating treadmill. I have a home treadmill, a (cheap) Xterra TRX1000, bought it in November 2020 but started using in full swing only February of this year. After using it for 2 - 3 consecutive days, a message - "lube" showed on the dashboard so I used the oil that goes with it the way (but not exactly) you demonstrated and the message was gone. The manual said repeat lubricating the belt every 40 hours or so of use. Last week same message showed again on the dashboard; I applied the remaining oil but the message stayed. So I ordered Treadmill Lube Oil from Amazon and applied a little bit more - after I cleaned the belt, based on the manual - inserts a towel under the belt and run for a few seconds. But the 'Lube" message does not go away. Anything I should do more - other than buying a new one? Ed Rivera

[@Papertin99]

Buy a new one!!!

[@general5104]

If the treadmill is operating properly, put a piece of sticky-note tape across the readout that says to lubricate. Write i-D-10-T on the tape. Works for me.

[@britt5823]

Thank you! This helped me with a home purchase. ❤

[@DNTMEE]

My treadmill is hard to access from the top so I just go in on the bottom. I prop it up up in the rear and apply the oil on that side of the belt where there is easy access. I do it near the front as shown in the video. It all goes on the underside of the belt so it simply comes, oil ans all, around when I start it. Then walk of it as shown.

[@moazsalem3488]

Hi sir I have a question when I do some exercise and stop the machine and come back later to start it it doesn't start until I unplug it and plug it back again ( BH model ) Why is that

[@strikemaster1]

Thanks for the video... good job mate. The manufacturers of the Everfit treadmill I just buy, supply 2 small bottle of oil to which they say to tip "some oil" in a filling well on each side of the uplifted belt section. Problem is, a little like yourself, they dont say "how much" oil you should use. Should I tip out the whole bottle to both sides?

[@rolandsequeira]

put around 30-40ml

Do I need to lubricant if the treadmill is new ?

[@danielcooper5698]

One thing you missed - HOW MUCH LUBE DO WE USE?

[@deusvlad2.083]

I also want to know how much silicone lubricant to use, my guess is probably a squirt on both sides, of a full pippett once every 3 months or every 130 miles, if you use it more intensive, check more often to determine if maintenance is needed. Maybe even once a month or once every 3 weeks if you use it 1 hour per day. Also a treadmill cover to prevent dust from accumilating on top, good maintenance can say f u to the companies that charge for repairs. They say if you put too much lubricant then the tread will slip a bit, in such case get a dry cloth and wipe the treadmill down a bit, make sure the cloth is lint free so no particles spread on the tread.

15-20 ml…maybe maxxxx 1 tablespoon total …less is better!!!!!!!

Thank you! After the lubrican is properly applied and the running belt has run for a few minutes... should I feel it oily if I stick my hand inside?

Yes you should, but at that point, you are removing some of the silicone, so I wouldn't recommend putting your hands in to check. Once applied, it should be good to go!

[@Noobsaibot21]

Shops locked down here in Ireland but we do have KY Jelly. Could this be used (even temporarily)? It is a water based lubricant - could this damage the treadmill?

do you walk on the belt manually or with the treadmill plugged in, after lubrication?
