How To Lubricate A Treadmill Belt 

depends how much you use it. If you used it say twice a week, I would say every 3 months you should check it and lube it

Hi there. Obviously nobody answered you. I'd recommend you phone the customer service team. I just bought the Sprint 3. Great machine. Best wishes.

If you have a JTX sprint 8 pro or sprint 9 Pro then you would need to press and hold any button to clear the Oil light. This is a reminder to check if it needs oiling and not telling you that you need to oil the machine. lubricating it every time it shows the oil light can lead to over lubrication. the machine should only be lubricated every 3-6 months.

I did according to instructions on my threadmill and had to replace the deck 6 months later. The silicon oil "leftovers" got stuck on the deck, probably due to the friction heat, created some hard uneven surface that started to rub on the mat and create a friction noise. The service engineer that replaced the deck told me that most people use too much oil. These days I use less oil and use my hands to rub it out on the deck to better control the amount of lube I put on. Using these tools and gadgets gives me no clue how much lube I have on the different areas.

Less is better

Can you use silicone oil spray

Hard to use spray, unless you remove the belt. I only loosen the belt so I can get access to the deck, so I rub the oil with my hand, with a thin silicon glove

I think that by loosening the tension screws you will get in more trouble than the one you try to avoid.Just use something that won't damage the surface of the deck, something like plastic or wood.

@@nikosalonikacity Maybe you're right. It all depends on who is loosening the screws and whether they can bring them back to their original position without disturbing the alignment. Anyways, I was able to get my hand, along with the lubricant bottle, under the belt by lifting it a little bit with the other and it did the trick.

Thank you. Mr John for making the video while others sit and criticise. For those that critique you could always put tape over the screwdriver blade but I’m not an engineer either. Good free advice Mr John

NOOOO… Def buy a 100% silicone oil made for treadmills ..I bought a noosa brand from amazon

@@Sukiipod Thats what I ended up doing, but to be honest, I still don't a difference, the WD-40 brand is still very much a silicon oil

@@rustyneedles3743 it becomes dry and does not slide

Did you miss the part where he says “15-20 ml”? Or are you talking initially? If you have people installing it, they’ll generally do the initial lubricant for you. Or if your doing it yourself, it’s a bit trial and error. But 15-20 is a good starting place.
