How to tell if a treadmill needs to be lubricated
Treadmill is a veryconvenient exercise equipment. Many people use treadmills now, but treadmillsalso need to be lubricated, so how to add lubricating oil to treadmills?
After the runningbelt of the treadmill has been used for a period of time, it must be lubricatedwith a special configuration of methyl silicone oil. Usually, we can feel orfeel the friction of the running belt with our hands to know when we need toadd lubricating oil. Let's take a look at how to add treadmill lubricant!
How to addtreadmill lubricant
Step 1: Turn offthe power of the treadmill and stop running to prevent your hands from beinghurt or other accidents during the refueling process.
Step 2: It is bestto clean the treadmill before refueling, especially if the treadmill has notbeen cleaned for a long time. Generally, what needs to be cleaned is thedebris, dirty oil, etc. between the running board and the running belt.
Step 3: Gently openthe running belt on the left side of the treadmill, pour the lubricating oil onthe running board along the direction of the running belt, and the amount isabout 10ml. Do not use excessively, in order to prevent the slippage betweenthe treadmill and the running belt from affecting the normal operation. use.Then, after adding the left side, add the right side in the same way.
Step 4: After thelubricating oil on the left and right sides is added, start the treadmill. Turnon the treadmill and run it at a speed of less than 3km/h, stand up and movewith the running belt, and consciously press the area with the lubricating oilunder the running belt with the foot to spread it evenly on the running board,approximately like this Keep running for a few minutes until the silicone iscompletely absorbed by the running belt.
Determine if the treadmill is lubricated
1.Perceived by handtouch
The way to check ifthe treadmill needs to be lubricated, as long as you grab the running belt,touch your hand to the center of the back of the running belt as much aspossible, if the running belt is stained with silicone (a little damp), itmeans it is not Additional lubricant is required, if the deck is dry and nosilicone is felt inside the belt.
2.Feel the frictionof the running belt
The main purpose ofadding lubricating oil is to reduce the friction between the running belt andthe running board. If the friction force is too large, the power consumptionwill increase, which will affect the life of the running belt, running boardand motor. Therefore, when you feel the friction When the force is too high, itis necessary to lubricate the treadmill.
For example, when the treadmill is stationary, pushthe running belt backward with your foot, it feels very hard or cannot push therunning belt; or when running on the treadmill, adjust the speed to a mediumspeed, and then pull down the safety switch If the running belt stops runningimmediately, it means that lubricating oil needs to be added.
Precautions for adding lubricating oil totreadmills
1. When adding lubricating oil to the treadmill, donot pour too much. 10 ml on each side is enough. Using too much lubricating oilwill cause slippage between the treadmill and the running belt, which willaffect normal use and also be prone to accidents.
2. If the anti-static lubricant has been added tothe treadmill before leaving the factory, it does not need to be refueledimmediately.
3. Treadmill lubricating oil is industrial oil,please pay attention to the safety when using it.
4. The anti-static lubricating oil for treadmillsis silicone oil. Silicone oil can be bought in local chemical stores. Never useengine oil or automobile lubricating oil instead. These two are differentconcepts.
