3.6 KNOWING WHEN TO REPLACE THE RUNNING BELT AND DECK
One of the most common wear and tear items on a treadmill is the deck and belt combination. If these two items are not properly maintained,
they can cause damage to other components. Always keep your deck and belt free of dirt and dust by wiping the edges of the belt and deck and
up to 2" under the belt with a clean dry cloth.
To tell if your deck and belt combination needs to be replaced:
1) Have someone between 150-200lbs run on the treadmill at about 3 MPH.
2) Use a multi - meter to measure the amp draw with the user running. During normal use, the amp draw should be close to 5 amps. If the amp
draw is significantly higher than 5 amps, replace the belt and / or flip / replace the running deck.
