Treadmill

Hello exercisers,

In an attempt to trouble shoot the treadmill issues I have made a few adjustments.

 

The most noticeable is that I moved it to in front of the stair mill. This is important because it is now on a different circuit (33 instead of 29) the breakers are the same size, but the manual recommends it being on a different circuit than TVs, radios, etc. and I wonder if there is an issue with it being on the same circuit as the shop.

 

I spent a fair amount of time cleaning it. When I opened the motor cover it was packed with lint and dust. It is recommended that the area around the treadmill be vacuumed on a regular basis in order to keep debris out of the motor compartment. This may have been causing over heating issues, and may fix the problem.

 

I also loosened the walking surface belt. There is a happy medium on belt tension. If the belt is too loose then it may have a brief pause when you step on the surface. If the belt is too tight it may cause damage to the motor. This also may have been causing us issues. I will try to adjust it the best I can, but please let me know if it is skipping on you.

 

Thanks

Rob
