How To Lubricate A Treadmill Belt 

Thank you, you're a life saver :) The instruction in my treadmill's manual is garbage.

bro im so dumb the instructions were so unclear so i just poured the lubricant on top of the belt LMAO SO NOW ITS JUST STAINED and then i watched this vid

Thanks! Simple, straightforward instructions with no long-winded extra chatter.

Thank you very much - the instructions that came with my treadmill were nowhere near this clear!

Thank you! This helps but You didn’t mention how much oil to use?🤷‍♀️

This is so helpful and clear. Thank you! 🙏🏼

What should I use as a lubricant?

Warning: direct heat will cause the lubricant to dry up very fast. Don't place the unit by a window with direct sunlight or near a heating element at home - including when the unit is in the folded position.

Thank you! This helped me with a home purchase. ❤

Thanks for the video... helpful to understand this important part of lubricating the treadmill belt.

One thing you missed - HOW MUCH LUBE DO WE USE?

Concerning the treadmills that don't have easy belt access, to keep you from having to loosen, tighten and re-align the belt (what a pain) , simply stand the machine on end and apply belt lube to the under side of the belt. May take two people.

Much appreciated advice in video.

How do you know if your treadmill needs oil, either by its behavior or by feeling under the belt? I assume it should feel like there's only a thin film of oil on the platform.

Thank you . Very helpful

Great: Very informative and short Video. Thank you.

Nicely done.What could b d reason when d motor gets to ho

Cheers mate, fixed my brothers brand new 600$aud OVICX A2s using this guide, (Edit: my OTHER brother lubed it up but the belt was grinding on one side which has made it slightly frayed). Wasnt sure if it was compatible. Now I can shed some kilos!! Not to mention the nephews can run and push it to its limits and destroy it faster than I can try to fix it haha

Great video!

safety first, unplug the machine

Can’t come out tonight, why? O I’m lubing up my treadmill loool

Thank you! I watched a couple of how-to videos on this topic, yours was the best.

"Hey everybody. And today-" 😂 but thanks for the into!

How much should I apply after replacing the belt?

*can i use engine oil for the lubrication? Automobile oil is very very good for use of lubrication*

The first six seconds feel like a Vine. 😹

Where could I buy lubricant from???

Thank you verrrrry much. The owners manual tell us to lubricate according to its use: Monthly, Quarterly, Every Six Months. It supplies a plastic squirt bottle with a nose piece and a cap, but it DOESN'T tell what kind of oil it is. The owner's manual, is a JOKE !!!

what about cleaning dust under the belt before you put oil?

at the bottom, the carpet is well centered, but at the top it runs to the left, what could be the problem?

Thank you for this video. How much oil should we apply?

What lubricant did you use on the first treadmill

Thank you so much❤❤❤❤

What kind of lubricant? Can you us the spray lubricant?

Thank you for this! Saved me from trashing mine

My treadmill came with silicone oil lubricant. However the lid POPPED OFF when I was lubricating and now I must clean up extra oil. Any recommendations? I am currently trying, on advice from googling, laundry detergent w warm water & Isopropyl Alcohol (91%)

What if you mistaken to put the oil at the wrong place. How can one clean it off?

Hi sir I have a question when I do some exercise and stop the machine and come back later to start it it doesn't start until I unplug it and plug it back again ( BH model ) Why is that

Great job on the video and a reminder that I need to lubricate my belt lol Thanks!

How much lubricant should I use?

Can you recommend a good treadmill for big people 400 plus?

Thumbs up for the lube toss cut scene....!!!

some videos say loosening the tensioner while running it at the speed of 4...Do we really need to do that? And my tensioner is too tight, is it normal ?

if I lubricated with oil 3 months ago and did not use tape, do I have to lubricate again?

Thanks for this video. This is simple yet effective. 👍

Can’t I just lift the belt and spray some avocado oil cooking spray underneath? Lol btw can someone pls advise how often or after how many every X days/months of use should we lube it? Thanks!!

Nice workd and Nice products.

I just bought this treadmill and the belt is not moving. Do I need to lubricate it first before starting the machine ?

I have a question. How did you become so cool with that creative bottle in air transition lol. In all honesty, it was wholesome but a great edit altogether. Thanks for the video

If my treadmill is randomly stopping should i try this fix?

What lube to use on my belt I hear differs things from different people

Thank you 😊

I have to ask is wd40 a bad lubricant for a house small treadmill? any recomendations?

Shops locked down here in Ireland but we do have KY Jelly. Could this be used (even temporarily)? It is a water based lubricant - could this damage the treadmill?

good job

I never recommend the loosening of the belt, by anyone other than a pro, because while applying lubricant, the belt orientation with relation to the head roller can change. While they say here loosening tail roller is correct, reaching hands undertneath during the lubrication process can shift the belt orientation in regards to the head roller (roller with the drive pulley).I have seen too may time where this happens and the run belt is oblong...shifted to the right at the head roller and shifted to left at the tail roller.

Just bought a Proform treadmill today and the manual don't state anything about oil ,so giving them a call tomorrow the last treadmill i had was cheaper and came with oil

How much should be applied. All of it, half? how many ml?

How to fill the silicone oil for an auto lubricant machine?

Lol the start was hilarious and cheesy

I'm interested in the recumbent bike in the video. Could you give the brand name and model and any other info so I can find it?

If I use Mobil (Engine Oil) in replace of Silicon oil, will it makes any problem? Thank u.

What do I do for a squeaking treadmill? The equipment is brand new and the belt has been lubricated. There's also a rubbing sound from the belt.

Your video was informative, thank you. But after doing it all I still get the beeping and the OIL error. Did I put less oil ? Can you please let me know. Thank you.

Different belts but same Lubricant which does the same Crap

Hi I just got a new maxkare folding treadmill and the first time I turned it on it sounds like the motor is rubbing something I looked at it but I don't see anything rubbing I've looked online and it seems like it might be the bearings is there anyway to be sure this is the issue ?

do you walk on the belt manually or with the treadmill plugged in, after lubrication?

I have an older treadmill my mother gifted me and I'm not sure if I'm just too heavy for it or if it needs to be lubed I weigh about 280 lb and the treadmill is probably 20 years old it's called ProForm XD I don't know anything else about it don't have the user manual or know what year it was released all I know is it's at least 10 years old

That's a very helpful demo on lubricating treadmill. I have a home treadmill, a (cheap) Xterra TRX1000, bought it in November 2020 but started using in full swing only February of this year. After using it for 2 - 3 consecutive days, a message - "lube" showed on the dashboard so I used the oil that goes with it the way (but not exactly) you demonstrated and the message was gone. The manual said repeat lubricating the belt every 40 hours or so of use. Last week same message showed again on the dashboard; I applied the remaining oil but the message stayed. So I ordered Treadmill Lube Oil from Amazon and applied a little bit more - after I cleaned the belt, based on the manual - inserts a towel under the belt and run for a few seconds. But the 'Lube" message does not go away. Anything I should do more - other than buying a new one? Ed Rivera

Thanks for the video... good job mate. The manufacturers of the Everfit treadmill I just buy, supply 2 small bottle of oil to which they say to tip "some oil" in a filling well on each side of the uplifted belt section. Problem is, a little like yourself, they dont say "how much" oil you should use. Should I tip out the whole bottle to both sides?

My treadmill is hard to access from the top so I just go in on the bottom. I prop it up up in the rear and apply the oil on that side of the belt where there is easy access. I do it near the front as shown in the video. It all goes on the underside of the belt so it simply comes, oil ans all, around when I start it. Then walk of it as shown.

I have lubricant my treadmill and tighten up the belt ! But it stills stop about ever 20 or 30 seconds, after someone gets on it! What's wrong ? Please help ! It's a pro-form 740cs thank you!

How much lubricant are we applying

Hi why my treadmill stops when I step in the belt even the electricity goes off

EXCEPT ONE THING!!! I followed this video, but be sure not to OVERLUBRICATE! I used 4 ounces as said here and it was WAYYYY TOO MUCH. try one oz at a time...

How do you know when a belt needs lubing?

How often should it be done

What is the ideal running surface width? Minimum width? Comfortable width? Commonly used width?

My Nordictrack treadmill abruptly shuts down at speeds above 2.5 mph.

thank you!

Thank you!

Very beautiful video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

Saving lives here 👏

Very good products, and else to use

Thank you

If you don’t like some treadmill send me then I will fixed it and sell it👍👍👍

Thank you for the useful video, buddy! Keep up the great work! 😊

Intro is too long. If we search out this vid, it means we don't need much of the info in your intro

Do you put the oil on the belt on the Machine it self?

which type of oil is the best?

You made it look easy. I hope I do it right. Not sure I understand what you feel when you put your hand under the belt. Is it just the belt?

Is silicone spray okay to use?

I have a GoPro2. When walking at 5.0, the belt stopped abruptly, causing me to fall. After waiting a bit, I tried walking again. The same thing happened. Will lubricating the belt prevent this from happening?

Thank you

Getting a used precor tomorrow, going to clean and oil it before testing it to be certain we dont cause an issue

Why did my belt completely stop in the middle of my workout? Lube? And how long should a drive belt last?

I’m looking for a treadmill Mecanic please 🙏

Thank you! After the lubrican is properly applied and the running belt has run for a few minutes... should I feel it oily if I stick my hand inside?
