6.Is there excess Slip Cote? If you see Slip Cote oozing from sides of belt or off end of deck remove belt and wipe down deck, belt, and rollers.
7.Is it a commercial treadmill? Landice uses a stiffer belt on Club models to increase treadbelt life. These stiffer belts make more noise and are considered normal.
8.On older machines check that the Treadbelt and deck are not worn excessively and making noise. We recommend the replacement of both deck and belt if either is worn.
9.Does noise occur when seam passes over roller? A slight amount of noise is normal. If it is excessive check the seam for damage or for wax buildup on roller.
10.If noise occurs when walking, check that customer is not walking too far to the rear causing the belt to drag over the rear of the deck.
11.Noises can travel. Make sure noises are not coming from rollers, drive belt, drive motor, rear roller touching frame,
12.Check that drive roller is parallel to rear roller. If it’s not, the belt will be tensioned unevenly. Some adjustment is possible on front roller (try side opposite motor and pulley first) and should be enough to bring Drive and Take Up roller into correct alignment.
13.Check that frame is square. Sometimes mills can be jarred out of square and this can cause tracking and noise problems. Check frame corners with square.
Note: Always make sure you have a new deck surface when replacing Treadbelt.
Decks and VFX - Decks are solid pieces of wood with a phenolic coating that rest on the VFX cushioning system.
1.The deck can make a squeaking noise when the VFX hardware is not properly tightened or lubricated. You can test for this by bouncing on the deck when the machine is not running.
2.Sometimes the deck will need to be lubricated on the sides that go into the frame rails. Use grease sparingly.
3.If a part on the VFX system is broken the deck will make a clunky noise when it bounces against the damaged part.
4.A deck can also make a scraping noise when it is worn out.
Drive Belts- Drive belts make a high pitched squeal when they are worn or improperly tensioned. It can also happen when the drive pulley and Drive roller are misaligned.
Elevation Motor- Elevation Motors consist of an electric motor and screw shaft.
2.Elevation Motor makes a crunchy noise when the main screw gear is dirty or corroded.
3.It may make a grinding noise if the gearbox is damaged.
4.Always check that the motor itself is not damaged and making noises because of broken mounts, etc.
Drive Motor- The Drive Motor is an electric motor with a flywheel and pulley attached. The only serviceable parts are the Drive Motor Brushes.
1.Drive Motors can make a clicking noise if the bearings in the motor shaft are no longer round.
2.Grinding noise if the bearings are shot.
3.Thumping, clunky noise if the drive shaft is bent or broken.
4.Tinny or clicking sound if the fan is rubbing against the fan cover.
5.Metallic grinding noise if the motor brushes are very worn.
6.Buzzing noise if the brushes are hung up in the brush holder.
7.Whining noise from bearings or internal problems.
8.Humming noises could be a faulty capacitor, filter choke, or lower board affecting motor.
