Subject: RE: treadmill shuts off???08M3Sedanski - 2011-01-12 4:11 PM Most likely cause is a worn or non lubricated belt causing excessive work from the motor. I was thinking the same thing. Most of these call for lubricating the deck under the belt on a regular basis. If you don't do this, there is excessive drag on the motor. Some of them specify to lubricate with silicone spray; mine is supposed to be waxed. If the motor is getting hot, two things could account for this: 1 ) it's working too hard 2 ) whatever is supposed to cool the motor isn't If it's not a deck/belt lubrication thing, I liked the idea above about dust/crud works blocking airflow. If you have an air compressor, it's an easy way to blow the dust out of things. Sometimes the motors do wear out and need to be replaced. I would also consider calling the manufacturer. I got some good help from the Vision treadmill people once that way. |
