IN THIS ISSUE

We at Gym Tech, hope this letter ﬁnds you well, and that you

are getting ready for the beautiful spring weather ahead.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all of our customers

and readers that the running surfaces of your treadmills are more

important than most people think. The dierence between a new

running belt and deck and a worn running belt and deck is a major thing.

FRICTION. The less friction the treadmill has, the better. A worn belt and

deck will cause more friction. More friction causes a motor to work harder,

putting strain on the motor. This could cause the motor to go bad. The

harder the motor has to work, the more power it needs. That means that

more electricity is needed from the motor control board (MCB). More power running through the MCB causes pre-

mature wear and a possible burn out of the electronics. Finally, more power needed means a higher utility bill for your

facility. It is much cheaper to keep a good running surface than it is to change either, a motor or electronics board.

Not only is it cheaper but it is better for the overall health of the treadmill and your budget.

You should always perform maintenance on your treadmill to prolong the life of the belt and deck as well as the

your overall safety and the health of the treadmill. This issue of The Spotter’s DIY section explains exactly how to

perform maintenance on your treadmill.

We hope you all have a great spring season!

Sincerely,

The Gym Tech Team
