COMMON TREADMILL QUESTIONS
Q: Are the sounds my Treadmill makes normal?
A:All Treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers. This noise will diminish over time, although it might not totally go away. Over time, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers. It might also appear that one Treadmill is louder than the other due to this thumping, but that is due to the difference in belt tension.
Q:Why is the Treadmill I had delivered louder than the one at the store?
A:All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. And finally, if a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will more reflected noise.
Q: When should I be worried about a noise?
A:As long as the sounds your Treadmill makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your Treadmill is louder than this, you may want to call your service technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
