- How To Replace a Treadmill Belt
Posted on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Articles on Treadmills – Comments: (0)There isn’t much maintenance needed on a treadmill. Other than making sure that all pressure points are secure and that the treadmill is kept clean and oiled (some treadmills need occasional oiling) your treadmill is pretty much maintenance free.However, if you own your treadmill for quite a while you may notice that the treadbelt is getting worn. When it does look worn or frayed it’s time to replace the belt. Don’t stress as it is fairly easy to do.Before attempting to replace your treadmill belt, be sure that you have unplugged your treadmill and that you are only using a new belt that is made for your treadmill model!First remove the cover that protects the engine. You will normally find this at the back of your treadmill and is held on with a few screws.As you loosen the belt, push the roll toward the rear of the cover.
- Folding Treadmills
Posted on Friday, May 1st, 2009 in Articles on Treadmills – Comments: (1)Folding TreadmillsFolding treadmills can be a great choice for a small living space as they can be folded away, placed in a closet, against a wall and pushed under furniture such as a bed.Folding treadmills often have hydraulic folding mechanisms so that they are very easy to fold and also easy and safer to unfold.In the past when you unfolded a treadmill the deck would come crashing down if you didn’t assist it, but with the newer models this is no longer an issue as they slowly fold down on their own. However treadmills vary greatly in quality.When folding treadmills first came out they were also classed as not sturdy enough for running, and were limited to walking only.Running use of course puts the equipment under more stress as each foot comes down carrying more momentum and more of a shock. These early fold-up treadmills were lightweight and also sometimes had stability issues with runners.
