Treadmill Belt Lubrication Horizon Fitness

[@PetraHolden]

This is no longer suggested by Horizon. Instead, they suggest you do NOT loosen the belt and instead use a long rubber syringe to insert the lube into the middle of the deck. Otherwise, you run the risk of not tightening properly and misaligning the belt!

[@Cynthia-ve5nb]

Thank you for that much needed guidance🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@paladin1674]

You really need to watch how you tighten the belt back . Because if the tension is uneven the belt will pull to one side and wont stay center on the rollers .. I normally just lift he side of the belt up and use a lube bottle with a long tube on the end and apply the oil to avoid that unscrewing step

[@terrelljenrette5122]

Just mDe this mistake. Now I'm trying to fix it

[@JDMbyBlood]

Got the message last night. Could not find my manual, but found this video. Thanks soooo much for posting this video. Got me up and "RUNNING" again.... ;)

[@mom2dd]

I have purchased one of these treadmills and was surprised to see the message today when I needed a run. I really appreciate you posting this video and being able to easily access the manual in a PDF. Off to purchase some lube to take care of it!

[@ekendradasa9925]

I just followed this procedure successfully. If you have the manual, it's the same text, should you want to follow either or both. Being a first time belt lubricator (!) I was initially concerned about the possibility of having the belt become un-centered during the process. Fortunately, the manual explains clearly how to center it again. I followed those straightforward instructions and am happily back on the treadmill.😀

[@bobwaz9436]

I found that a 6mm allen wrench fits perfectly - hope this helps someone who also lost their tool. Mine may be an older model

[@OntCanGuy]

Allen key.

[@stevespetser]

Great video that really helped. It explains the whole procedure really clearly and concisely.

[@AlexDelgado-k8j]

Reset button was a life saver. Thanks a bunch.

[@DilairSingleton]

The reset part helped me so much, thank you !

Gracias maquina!!! En Horizon Adventure 5 Funciono pulsado el Stop y el Speed + al mismo tiempo.

[@dos_theanonymous_one]

This has been very helpful. Thanks 🤓

[@kentonletkeman7305]

Stop and Speed up button at the same time. Looks like some bonehead forgot to put that tidbit of information in the manual. I spent many hours trying to figure this out. Thank you very much for your help.

[@vicsage83]

Didnt see that message when I starting the T202, but lubed it anyway. Purchase was made in January 2021, so post-2006 model and then some lol

[@NickSheridanVids]

Often a good idea to do this if treadmill has been inactive or in storage. Mine has been stored for a year, has clearly dried up a bit

[@Treadmillwarehouse]

You should lubricate your treadmill monthly if its by a silicone spray and if you are using a thicker silicone oil then every 3 months. Not using the treadmill could result in parts wrecking. The more you use the treadmill, the longer they tend to last.

[@hbombstatic]

Thank you 😊

great video show love

[@chrisyrenaya537]

I’m very dissatisfied and disappointed by this video! I followed your instructions to the letter. I even counted the amount of turns on the Allan key, just as you said. My belt is ALWAYS pulling to the right now, no matter how many times I’ve tired to centre it. Now I need to call for someone to service it. I’ve looked up videos on how to recentre the belt if it pulls one way or the other. Nothing has worked. Further reading from another source says we shouldn’t loosen enough to lift the belt as it will misaligned the distribution. I should never have lifted the belt as much as you demonstrated.

[@janegreene5675]

Mine is doing the same thing!!

[@CallsItLikeISeizeIts]

Some one commented on here that they followed the manual to recent er the belt and it worked

[@HANABB66]

Thanks

[@fionapcdsupport]

Great video- thanks

[@kaylaobrien5007]

I don’t have a speed up or speed down button I just have a roller or the numbers to press how do I restart the message to lube the belt

[@raylyntetrault]

I have the same. How do I reset?

[@deepskin10]

Thankyou

[@Maxfli82]

"do not apply lubricant to the top of the belt" :-)

[@CallsItLikeISeizeIts]

What’s the box store Lube equivalent?

[@Annamalaibatsha]

Thanks for the video. Can I use the WD20 that I use for garage door rollers? Or is this something I have to buy separately

[@duffyfj]

I'm in the Middle of researhing this, and what I have come across is NOT to use WD40 on the belt, it can be used on fitting nuts and bolts, but silicone or wax on the belt

[@comlbbeau]

From information I've been able to glean, use the silicone product designed for treadmill belts. Even aerosol silicone spray is too diluted to provide necessary lubrication, apparently.

[@MyUnderTone]

How often?

[@JohanneBrunner]

It will give you a message when it needs it. I just lubricated mine as I haven't used it in a long time.

[@taylah1218]

Yes the unit tells you- however it's not always extremely accurate. It in theory comes up with the message at 150 miles or 5 miles, depending on the type of re-set you do. So what do I mean by "not accurate"?.... If you don't "save" your workouts (if you just walk off pull the key out when done with a workout/ don't let it get to the workout stats screen- it won't log how many you've truly gone in a workout- ie like most folks just go in "manual mode" for say 30 min and go til they are tired- and don't complete a program just shut unit down) So to save workouts moving forward- to make sure the maintenance message is accurate... hit STOP once to save, then press and hold STOP for 3 seconds- this will log your miles into the unit. So you only want rely on message if saving workouts. The more often the better. The message only comes up when it thinks you have gone 150 miles- so every 3 months OR 150 miles whichever comes first for you personally- is a better rule of thumb. Unit can't tell how well it's lubed/if it's needing- just goes off the mileage that's been logged into it.

I cant get rid of the lupe belt sign. I pressed both buttons at the same time but it is not working. I have a Horizon CT5.4 treadmill. Is there anything that i am doing wrong?

[@rosedugas6096]

Hi I have a CT 5.1 Horizon and the belt keep going to the left..any suggestions have been trying to fix this for a week?

[@Iamkayaky]

The trick is to turn that hex nut on one side or the other.

[@comlbbeau]

Using the hex wrench, in increments of 1/4 turn tighten the belt adjuster on the side the belt is favoring. In this case, turn the left adjuster 1/4 turn. Repeat if necessary.

[@lcinformed]

Trying to the the bolts back on but it’s not working. Any suggestions?

[@taylah1218]

get it lined up in hole- then use wrench to "get it going" it can be a bit clunky to get going in the threads if you took them completely out-but once u get spinning- not too bad... or- bolts stripped? get new bolts?

Even if I press the stop and speed up buttons at the same time, the message won't clear... any suggestions?

[@Treadmillwarehouse]

You're probably not pressing them at the same time. Some models you press speed up with the stop button and some speed down and stop button.

[@kattyarobles1923]

I tried every tip you said, stop+ speed up, stop+ speed down, just stop, just speed up, just speed down, what can I do, please help

when I pressed both buttons it works but when I stop the treadmill it won't work again

You're probably only pressing the stop button as that would clear the message temporarily. Try pressing the button together.

It could be electronic problem. You would need to get a technician to have a look at it.
