how often do I need to silicone the belt?

Apply lightly once every 3 to 4 months if you use it a couple of hours a week.

It depends on the amount of use. My wife and I use ours 3-4 times a week each for 1/2 hr. at a time. I'm going to silicone mine about every 3 months and very lightly.

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

Clean under the belt with a clean shirt then apply in the middle under the belt.... I put a monopoly box under belt to give me the room to apply it... Put whole tube in middle under belt then walk on slow for 5 minutes .. It worked great on mine ... I put 28 miles a week on mine and it runs smooth

yes, you may have to adjust and replace the belt a little more frequently but the machine is heavy duty and I would say on par with most gym equipment. The only problem I have had has been with the computer. They just replaced my 2nd one about a month ago. Free of charge! You may want to think about the extended warranty. They called me at some point after the first year and offered the warranty and I bought it because they had already replaced the computer the first time.

Did you find a solution? I'm having that same problem now, with a new belt! Not sure what to do now...

The outer belt is replaceable, but the inner (trapped) belt isn't. I'm a fairly 'mechanical' person, but I still watched the online videos and tried to analyze where Murphy's Law would be operative. Certainly the stretching of the two belts to get them properly placed is a potential trouble spot. If a belt is damaged in any way (nicked, over-stretched) it would be sure to lead to premature failure. Or something causing undue load on the belt, such as bad brush bearings of a 'wrap' of carpet yarn could also be a problem. So, in my amateur analysis, I'd say that (1) the belt had a defect, or (2) was damaged or stressed, causing the failure. As to warranty... hope you saved the receipt! But if you are certain that you installed the clutch properly and carefully, then the belt may have been defective. Good luck!! (rel)

You are probably safe to do it every 4 hrs. Most ladies use a back-up plan like reusable, cloth liners. This cup is great for swimming. Very tricky to insert properly.

nothing but silicone listed on the package. Tip from my experience lubricate the platform freely not just the belt. The product works well

I raise the treadmill into the storage position and spray from underneath. I pull down on the belt and give it a squirt from each side. Then I manually rotate the belt a few feet and repeat 3 or 4 times. Hopefully the lubricant is getting where it needs to be.

It depends on usage and tightness of belt. About 15 miles, probably 8-15 hours. Use about 1/2 bottle each time. I find that the more even you spread it and the more accurate you have the belt tension, the longer it lasts.

Every 3 months. I use it twice per day as well as twice per week for the mask.

It not that bad, anthough I did need to renforce the belt loop. Otherwise I've been using it for the last several month with no issues.

You need to be careful. A belt of medium elasticity should stretch between 3% and 5% from its relaxed circumference to the size it assumes when on the platter and pulley. Many belts sold online are too tight, and this can injure the top motor bearing. Also, there is often debris from the old belt on the platter rim and motor pulley. This should be cleaned off. I use isopropyl alcohol (99% pure), Scott shop towels, a scraping tool, and a green pad.If someone tells you that you can get away with a tighter belt, go elsewhere.

You need to replace it every 2-3 weeks or things get a bit too funky. Fantastic product - although I recommend Fresh Patch brand. It lasts longer.

All treadmills require periodic maintenance if you want it to last longer. Here is the list of items from my owner's manual: Vacuum Under Motor Cover & Check Wiring (Every Other Month) Clean & Inspect Deck for Lubrication (Every Other Month) Lubricate Deck (Every 90 hours or sooner if dry) Inspect Belt Tracking (Monthly) Adjust if necessary

I typically use them about 50 times before replacing both pads and mat. The adhesive loses it's stickiness and the foil on the pads wears along where you fold it.

yes, I do it all the time. Suggest leather conditioner so it doesn't crack along that edge 3yrs from now. I use Lexol.
