Ensure Proper Alignment Of Belt |
|
Roller knocking occurs with improper belt tracking.
This should be avoided at all times. If you hear a knocking noise when
running your treadmill, that most often means that you have a defective
roller. However, there are instances where the noise results from the
belt placing too much force on the roller from side to side. You will
recognize the difference between the cases in that the knocking noise in
the latter will be at a much slower rhythm than roller rotation.
One way to reduce the load on belt is through proper tracking.
Not only that, it will also help guide the belt and ensure that the
front and rear rollers are parallel. Just follow the manufacturer’s
directions on belt tracking to keep from misaligning or over-stretching
the belt. A word of caution: be careful not to over-tighten belt when
adjusting alignment.
These things may seem small and perhaps 'not
so necessary' but they do make a major difference. Your treadmill is
sure to perform better if you undertake these maintenance steps in
routine.
