Keeps My Treadmill Belt & Me Running Smoothly
The maintenance of your treadmill is easily overlooked & sometimes totally forgotten. One of the most important pieces of maintenance that is relatively simple & which does not take much time to perform, is cleaning & lubricating the belt. Spot On 100% Silicone Treadmill Belt Lubricant is a must have for my treadmill. Made in the USA is a bonus. The extra long application tube makes applying the lubricant under the treadmill belt & across the treadmill platform very easy.
To properly lubricate the treadmill belt, you must first clean the underside of the belt & the top of the treadmill platform. To do this, loosen the belt tensioning screws until you are able to slide a dry clean towel under the belt & across the platform. Carefully run the towel from one end of the platform to the other & then back to the center. Carefully (you may need someone helping you) while holding the towel across the center of the platform, turn the belt on its slowest speed, so it runs over the towel wiping clean the underside of the belt. Remove the towel. Now take the Spot On Silicon Lubricant w/the long application tube attached, apply approximately 1oz of lube across the treadmill platform. Retighten the treadmill belt being sure to center the belt. Once tightened, turn the treadmill on a slow speed & walk on the treadmill to allow the lube to spread across the platform. That’s it.
It will depend on how often you use your treadmill as to how often you’ll need to lubricate your treadmill. I use my treadmill 4-7 times a week. I lube my treadmill every 3 months, so the bottle of Spot On lasts a year. You should check your manual or manufacturer’s website to see if silicone lube is right for your treadmill & how often it should be lubricated.
Thank you for taking time to read my review, I hope it was helpful.
