Does your treadmill squeak or make noises? Here's how to check your treadmill belt:

Belt slanting is very common. This is caused by the way we run. 

Our dominant leg tends to apply more pressure while we run, as compared to our non-dominant leg. 

As a result, the belt will naturally be pulled to one side after some time.

The tension of the running belt should be checked regularly, as it is prone to slacking over time. 

Certain phenomena such as slippage, jerks or even engine overheating would be your first indicators of a relaxed treadmill belt. 

A relaxed treadmill belt will not allow you to practice safely. 

Conversely, having it too tight will damage the engine and the electronics of the device.

Using a lubricant will preserve your engine and improve its longevity. This simple operation will prevent friction between the race board and belt. 

In the event that it is not lubricated enough, the motor will overheat, which could cause the belt to trip.

It is important to lubricate the belt regularly (every 200 hours of use) to ensure longevity. To carry out this check, run your hand under the running strip – it should not be dry in the centre.
