Does this treadmill require lube on the belt because mine did not come with any lubrication.

Most do not include lubricant. I called customer service & the guy stated that the treadmill requires a wax based lubricant.

I don't lube it but I also put olive oil in the the. I believe it is non-stick. Works great for me and I have never had a problem and I bake bread a lot. :)

I had previously bought the Lube N Walk deluxe treadmill Maintenance kit. I sprayed the silicone stray on the wand and turned the treadmill on. I also did spay it directly underneath the walking belt. Try no to get it on your walking belt because it will leave it oily and slippery. If you do, make sure you wipe it clean. Hope this helps.

I can't say this is the best way, but I did the following: For my treadmill desk, the treadmill is a separate unit. I set the treadmill on one edge, lifted the rubber belt up as far as it would go with one hand, and sprayed under the belt, between the belt and the platform, from the front to the back, a half dozen squirts or so. I set the treadmill on its other edge and repeated. My hope was that the silicone would spread out during use to lubricate the entire platform. It seemed to work ok. Some of the spray did get onto the top of the belt and frame, but it wiped off.

if you have been lubricating it, it shouldnt make the sound. You can lubricate it even now. While doing so, you can celar the squeaking sound by adjusting the treadmill speed using the screws provided. It should be available near the leg of your tread mill at the very end. Have you ever tried that?

I do not know Andrew but I am a recent owner of the same Treadmill and have had to frequently adjust the belt to keep it centered and noticed my belt would slip but thought it was because I was not lifting my foot up high enough when I jogged - now I wonder if it is an issue with the machine. I will call Precor customer service and ask them these questions.

Hi Hazel -- I wonder if you ever resolved this problem. I have been using this treadmill for a few months now and loving it but today it started making a clunking sound when belt running. I found the user manual online but there is no mention of the problem. You call it 'clicking' I call it 'clunking' but I think we could both be having the same problem, so am wondering if you ever resolved this. Any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

This treadmill works great. I use it every day. It requires very little assembly and is very easy to follow instructions to assemble. I'm very glad I bought this item and honestly feel it's well worth the money. If you do buy it I found out that the lubricant that is used is put at the top under the belt and then just walk on machine to lubricate it. Only takes 3-4 drops. It doesn't take a lot of space and it folds up out of the way. If you purchase it enjoy.

It actually comes with a bit of lubricant. Not sure what it was for. I assumed it was for the back rails/wheels.

I use lube-walk on the belts of my treadclimber. They're not twenty inches wide however in my research ofthe product I found on wide belts you must lubricate FROM both side as equally as possible. Depending on the amount of time you spend walking or running you may need to lubricate the belt more often. Tim G.

I generally don't use any. I have not taken it apart but it seems this pump is all polymer, so I don't think it need lubricant. I have pumped gasoline and diesel, which are both easy chemicals for this pump. I have also pumped alcohols, which are also easy. The most aggressive solvent I have pumped is ethyl formate, and the pump seemed to handle this well also. Other pumps that were for gasoline did not work for ethyl formate.

The item comes with lubricant already applied. You should not need to apply any additional lubricant.

On HORIZONFITNESS.COM there is a troubleshooting and general questions section. I found instructions and a video on how to lubricate the belt! It looks easy. You take the blue wrench thing provided, loosen the back screws, located on the very end of the treadmill on both sides, loosen each counter clockwise 10 to 12 turns. then lift the belt , one side then the other, squirt the oil in a zig zag fashion. Run the treadmill for 3 minutes, then walk on it for 3 minutes. BEFORE you turn it on retighten the belt clockwise on both sides the same number of times you loosened it. The video is very helpful. Hope it helps!!

The owners manual states that the sprocket in the bar needs lubrication, but I don't recall it mentioning the drive sprocket. Everything is pretty well oiled by the chain lube.

Although I never used this on Treadmill, I have used it successfully to lube the suspension bushings and doors on a RAV4.

The lubricant I receive with the treadmill was gease in a small plastic tube. I used the treadmill for about 18 months before it indicated that I should lubricate the deck. Once I used the lubricant Sole provided, I followed the instruction manual and reordered the lubricant from Lube-N-Walk. I expected a lubricant similar to the one that came with the machine but received a small bottle of liquid (maybe an oil) that I was to use every month. I did not like the comments I read regarding the Lube-N-Walk product and decided to look elsewhere for a grease-like lubricant. I have not used the Lube-N-Walk liquid. I do not want to use a lubricant monthly when I did not have to initially. The lubricant I receive with the treadmill was gease in a small plastic tube.

Ah! I've been there - I tried using silicon lubricant along with some other short cuts and I wound up having to replace my belt with a new one. I learned that if it's not lubricated properly, the inner side of the belt becomes damaged and unusable. My belt became more and more frayed and it lost almost all of the friction ridges. This caused my motor to have to work too hard to get the belt going and it would overheat and then shut down in the middle of my work out. I now solely use the horizon Fitness silicon on my belt. It is much thicker than any other lubricant and extremely smooth. I run 20 - 25 miles per week so proper maintenance is the highest priority for me. When I damaged my belt, I had to go almost 2 weeks without my treadmill. Hope this helps! I highly recommend sticking to the Hor. Fit. Silicone lube. :-)
