Static Electricity: What to Look For
Static electricity can be generated from many sources. While a shock may occur occasionally while using
the machine and is normal, it can lead to issues with the treadmill’s components. Here are the most
commonly found sources of Static Electricity:
 Treadmill placed on carpet - When you use your treadmill directly on a carpet, it is far more prone
to static build up. Instead, install a rubber treadmill mat (LANDICE #73062) underneath the
machine. This will help reduce static buildup.

Dry Climate & Lack of Humidity - Whether it’s the winter months, or you live in a dry location,
static buildup is more likely to occur low humidity environments. You can compensate for this by
using a humidifier in your treadmill’s location.
 Dehydration and Dry Skin- Your own level of dryness can lead to static buildup. If you are
dehydrated while working out, dry skin will increase risk of static buildup. You can combat this by
drinking more water, and using moisturizer as needed on dry areas of the skin.
 Your workout clothing and shoes - The type of material used in your workout clothes can make a
world of difference when it comes to combating static buildup. Synthetic materials like Polyester,
Spandex, and Acrylic fiber will build up static electricity much faster. Instead, use natural materials
like Cotton in your workout clothing.
Likewise, if your shoes are worn down, you will dramatically increase the chance of static
buildup. Check the tread of your shoe, and replace them if they are worn down.
 Worn out parts - The condition of the treadbelt, deck and motor brushes can all increase the risk
of static buildup. Do monthly maintenance such as vacuuming under the motor cover. Use
Simple Green to wipe down the deck, hand rails and display. Check the treadbelt tension, and
look for cracks or fraying. A Landice Authorized service provider can help to do a full diagnostic
on your treadmill for a fee.
 Using Surge Protectors, Extension Cords - Landice requires plugging directly into a dedicated
outlet. Using a surge protector or extension cord increases resistance on the flow of power,
meaning increased stress on electrical components and premature failure, as well as the increased
risk of static shock.
