The period of use of the treadmill depends on the care of the treadmill. The device must not only be cleaned of dust, but also lubricated. After the purchase, there is lubricant on it, but over time it disappears. The treadmill grease comes in many forms. It is necessary to use a quality product, as well as to properly perform the procedure. Then the equipment will last more than one year.
How often do you need to lubricate the simulator?
It depends on the frequency of training on the treadmill, as well as the duration of the activities. If the device is not used, it is not required to be processed. But with regular use, the simulator needs lubrication every month. Then the device will run smoothly.
What is used?
Silicone grease for treadmills is considered the best. It is sold in spray cans and in a dense form in ordinary containers. But it should be borne in mind that the spray is ineffective for processing the canvas and deck, since the silicone in the cylinder has a lower viscosity and quickly evaporates. Most manufacturers of treadmills produce silicone in a bubble with the simulator.
Homemade products should not be used. They negatively affect the operation of the equipment. In addition, their use can lead to unsuitability of the treadmill. Lubrication is an important part of care. It is advisable to use special tools suitable for a particular brand of simulator.
Types of funds
Sports shops usually sell treadmill grease. "Sportmaster" offers to purchase a simulator with this tool. Daytona should be used once a quarter or for a mileage of 200 km. Grease for treadmills will help improve the quality of classes. Sportmaster offers to purchase it separately from the equipment. The processing procedure will reduce the load on the electric motor and make the blade movement smooth. Thanks to it the term of operation increases. Shake aerosol before use. Then you should raise the canvas, apply grease. The product should not fall on the outside.
EFELE treadmill grease reduces noise, prolongs operation. The volume of the balloon is 405 ml. It shows information about the product and the manufacturer. The benefits include harmlessness to humans, lack of color and a neutral smell. You can use the tool for different simulators. The convenient nozzle of a cylinder allows to process hard-to-reach spots.
The Molykote Separator Spray treadmill grease is aerosolized. The tool protects the simulator from deformation. The bottle contains 400 ml. Of the advantages, safety, lack of color and smell can be distinguished. It can be used for different devices.
The silicone grease for the SIL-X treadmill is universal. It is used to improve the appearance of parts, slow down the aging of parts of equipment. It also protects against moisture, eliminates squeaks, reduces friction. The blade is perfectly lubricated without loosening and subsequent adjustment of the blade.
You can use silicone oil, which is sold in various volumes, but the minimum is 100 ml. The product is in demand due to the low price and good impact on sports equipment. It is used as standard grease.
Work Execution Rules
The simulator must be disconnected from the network. Then you should loosen the tension of the running belt. To do this, the adjustment bolts should be turned on both sides. The canvas must be raised in the middle of its length. Then treadmill grease is applied.
Then you need to tighten the adjusting bolts to the speed that was made with loosening. The simulator must be turned on at low speed for several minutes to evenly distribute the product. Then you need to check the alignment of the canvas. Excess grease must be wiped with a rag. You should walk on the canvas for several minutes, and then the simulator can be used in normal mode. Lubrication should be performed regularly so that equipment repair is not required.
The treadmill must be lubricated periodically: the product dries out over time, and the friction index increases. Therefore, the load on the engine and belt will be greater, and this leads to breakage. If the simulator has not been processed, warranty service may be refused. This procedure improves glide and cleans the web.
