6. Replacing Motor Brushes
After extended use, the motor brushes in your treadmill motor will wear down, and this can lead to motor failure.
It is important that you maintain your motor by replacing the brushes on either side of the motor when they are
worn down. We recommend that you check your motor every 1000 hours of usage.
IMPORTANT:
Before beginning the replacement of your motor brush, ensure that the treadmill is off and
unplugged from the electrical socket.
NOTE:
When properly tightened, you should be able to peel the very edge of the side of the belt up approximately
2 inches. However this is a rough reference and not all treadmills are the same. Some treadmills that have longer
belts may give different measurements for correct belt tightness.
Simply, if the belt begins to slip during use, this is an indication that the belt still needs tightening.
