Treadmill Parts - Fixing Your Exercise Equipment
By Dean Iggo
Purchasing treadmill parts can save you the hassle and the cost of buying a new machine. In order to decide which treadmill parts are right for you, though, you will need to decide what is wrong with your current treadmill. Replacement of certain parts may be required, and repair of other parts may help fix your machine. It is best to consult the diagram of your treadmill in your owner's manual before you undergo any kind of repairs.
Where Can I Get Parts For My Treadmill?
Treadmill parts are available in a number of different locations. Your local exercise outlet may carry parts for your brand, whether it be Proform, Nordic Trac, Sears, or something else entirely. If you do not have a nearby exercise equipment outlet, you may have to turn to the internet to find parts for your treadmill. There are a number of websites dedicated to the sale of parts for treadmills and other exercise equipment pieces like the Total Gym.
Where Do I Start?
When you get ready to repair your treadmill, there are several places to check for problems. The best place to start looking is the belt and the deck. Each step described will, of course, depend on the model and brand you have. To check out the deck and the belt, you must loosen the tension roller. Be careful, though. If you get it too loose, you will lose the bolts out of the roller shaft. Next, inspect the belt itself for a smooth, consistent feel. Any uneven wear or potential seam failure requires a complete replacement of the belt. The deck should also be very smooth.
You may also want to test your treadmill's motor. You can do this by hooking a battery into the treadmill's power supply. You can use a cordless drill battery, a car battery, or a lantern battery. Checking the roller sleeve is also a good idea. On a number of treadmills, the drive roller has a traction sleeve that helps the belt operate at a lower level to prolong the life of the machine. The sleeve can slip off to one side, causing problems with the treadmill itself.
