Video about How to Lubricate a Treadmill using Liquid Lube
This video will demonstrate how to properly lubricate your treadmill belt and deck. This demonstration is for the application of liquid lube.
To begin, clean the deck and belt by loosening the rear roller bolts 10 turns as seen in the video. It is best to loosen each side five turns and then repeat the process.
Now that the belt is loose you can take an old towel and place it under the belt as shown in the video. Move the towel up and down the deck, then using your hands pull the belt around half way to ensure you have completely cleaned the back of the belt. Then remove the towel.
Open your lube packet and use half of the package to make a half circle on the deck, from the front outer portion of the deck toward the center and then back to the outer edge. Use about half the package for this arc. Now repeat the process on the opposite side. Be sure to wipe up any excess oil as it is very slick!
Use your hand to move the belt around some more to begin spreading the lubricant out.
Now tighten the rear roller bolts back to the exact amount of turns they were loosened previously.
Power on and start the machine; let it run slowly for a few seconds to make sure the belt is staying aligned in the center of the deck area. If it is not centered correctly, make minor adjustments to correct the issue. Tighten the left bolt to move the belt to the right and tighten the right bolt to move the belt to the left. Now walk on the belt for a minute or so to fully distribute the lubricant.
This concludes today's demonstration of how to lubricate a treadmill using the liquid lube.

on the usage amount. Lift the walking belt and feel on the underside of the
belt. If it is dry, you should lubricate it. ProForm recommends you use
100-percent, non-petroleum silicone spray to lubricate the walking belt. Do not
use wax or other lubricants, such as WD-40 or a Teflon-based
spray

Sounds like your walking belt is starting to get worn,.or you need to lubricate the walking belt. Try applying a silicon lubricant, or other lubricant called for in your manual, to the bottom side of the walking belt, and the surface it contacts. ( not the drive roller).
The main thing to do is keep the walk belt area clean of all shoe rubber and lint,vacuum the tread melt and edges regularly.Most treadmills have a wax lubricant in the walk belt,youcan purchase this lubricant at store that sell treadmills or you can do an on line search for treadmill lubricant.If you lift the belt and feel under the platform you should feel a slight waxy film, if not you should add wax as needed,some wax kits come with instructions, but if you just apply it to the platform area underneath the walk belt where you feet normally land when to step forward that should be fine,walk on the treadmill for a few minutes to spread the wax evenly on the underside of the belt, other than that there is no other maintenance needed.
