when I run on my treadmill, it has suddenly started feeling like it briefly stops the belt whenever I land my stride. I’ve tried greasing the board underneath the belt with silicone grease according to the manual, but that didn’t help. Any advice on how to fix this? Could it be the belt that needs tightening?
[SOLUTION] It was just belt tension, it had become too slack. A quick tightening fixed the issue completely.
I don’t own a treadmill but I have worked with belt conveyors!
My first guess would be belt tension.
It looks as if there are YouTube videos which show how to tension treadmills.
My only real advice is to make sure you pull the roller back evenly, otherwise you may get tracking issues (the belt wanders left or right).
Yeah tensioning is easy enough, There’s just two bolts I need to adjust in parallel to move the back-roller. I’ll see if adjusting belt tension fixes it.
