Nice!

HELL YEAH Ramiro!

Hello, if your treadmill mat feels like it's loose and slipping whilst you're on it then yes!

Glad to hear it!

Get a torque wrench and have them both torqued at the same amount. Just an idea

Tighten up each side evenly until you get the right tension and then run it and adjust the alignment - easy just make sure the tension is correct though after aligning it and use small increments with the adjusting tool.

Unfortunately no. It will be a long process to get them back together if they aren't already

Awesome, glad we could help you out!

Same here

Hello, all treadmill belts will loosen over time but it should be quite a long time. We recommend checking lubrication and cleaning around every 3 months but the belt shouldn't need tightening regularly only when you feel it becoming an issue.

​@@Manny1992 have you been able to resolve the issue?

Hello, just loosen the belt slightly and you should be fine.

Hi Valerie, just a regular allen key is all you need, the size you require may vary.

Did you not watch the video?

As long as it's not slipping your belt is good to go!

Hi Chris, as you're talking about a machine that we don't supple it's hard to give you specific advice as we would be unfamiliar with it. Both sides of the rear foot rails should have two screws, one to hold the cap and one to adjust the read roller. Generally you would need to adjust the rear roller adjustment, we'd suggest taking off the caps to view which screws attach to the rear roller and go from there. Hope this helps!

Hi, we don't have access to a “black and decker” treadmill so without physically looking at the treadmill it is hard to diagnose the problem, but it sounds like it could be wear on the deck and the running belt. By stalling out do you mean the power was tripping or just slowing to a stop? The deck has a laminate type surface that should be lubricated regularly with silicon, the running belt backing could be a poly blend, cotton or some other fibre which wears over time and if the backing on your treadmill belt has worn it will cause the treadmill to stall or trip out the breaker because the driver board and/or motor will overload. This will also happen if the laminate on the deck has worn. We do carry spare mats and decks of various sizes, if we don’t have a deck to suit you can get a carpenter to cut laminated board to suit or go back to the retailer who supplied the treadmill and see if they can access these parts. Email service@orbitfitness.com.au with your name, location and contact number for one of our technicians to give you a call.

Adjust the tension of the motor belt.

Hello, if you over tighten the mat it can put too much pressure on the roller bearings causing them to wear prematurely. Also the mat itself if over stretched the fabric underneath will breakdown much quicker which will mean the mat will need replacing. Hope this helps.
