Fixing Belt:
Are you tired of walking or running on a treadmill with a folded belt? Does it feel like a bumpy and uncomfortable ride? Trust me, you're not alone! A folded treadmill belt can be frustrating and ruin a perfectly good workout. But don't worry, the good news is that it's easy to fix!
First, unplug the treadmill from the outlet and wait for the belt to come to a complete stop. Then, inspect the belt carefully to see where the fold is located. Once you've identified the location of the fold, you need to loosen the belt tension to fix it.
To do this, locate the tension adjustment screws on the sides of the deck near the back roller. Turn the screws clockwise to tighten the belt and counterclockwise to loosen it. Loosening the belt will make it easier to flatten out the fold.
Next, get on the treadmill and walk slowly on it to find the folded area. As you walk, use your feet to push down on the belt where it is folded. While doing this, keep your hands close to your body to avoid trapping them between the moving belt and the deck.
Using even pressure, push down on the belt until the fold is gone. You can also use a rubber mallet or a similar tool to gently tap the folded area until it flattens out. Be careful not to use too much force as this can damage the belt or the deck.
Once the fold is gone, you can adjust the belt tension back to its original setting. Tighten the screws clockwise until the belt is taut, but not too tight. Too much tension can cause premature wear and tear on the belt and strain the motor.

Lastly, turn the treadmill on and walk on it to make sure it's running smoothly. If you feel any bumps or unevenness, repeat the above steps until you have a flat and smooth belt.

Remember to always unplug the treadmill, loosen the tension, use even pressure to remove the fold, adjust the tension back to its original setting, and test the belt for smoothness. With these tips, you'll be back to a comfortable workout in no time!
