@6:19 what did you do before before this? Because you already moved the belt, but somehow the belt is back to its first position. Can you also elaborate more on the adjusting thread part for the left bolt you are turning? Why are we turning pass 15 rotations now?
Good afternoon! Thank you for this awesome and informative video. We have some house guests that will be filling up our 136 yr old house in June. When they leave, we will order a 1750 or a 2450. I am sure the answer floats around “it depends”, but how often do you do a lubrication on these machines (2 people using it 2 or 3 times per week)?
@gitfit875 thank you very much for the prompt reply. When we get one, I will buy one of your adjustment wrenches. A follow on question....if we have 2 people using the machine on the family plan for ifit, is there a maintenance page that will show the cumulative usage so as to determine that 90 hr block?
If you back out on the belt bolts all the way how many turns would you need to tighten. 15? I replaced my belt completely. When you say 15 turns are you saying 15 full turns or half turns
15 complete turns, assuming it was properly adjusted to start with. If the bolts have been completely taken out, you're going to need to adjust from scratch. I have videos on that as well.
@gitfit875 got ya im having an issue on my 1750 right now. I have tensioned it a couple time using procedure on manual. When i walk on it it seems fine. When i set to 6 or 7 the belt feels like it skips and then the more shuts off but the screen keeps going as if the belt is running. Treadmill is in my cold garage dont have room in my house. Belt lacks lubrication
Definition do not lubricate it. If you're getting slippage from it, the tightness of the walking belt affects the tightness of the motor belt. Right at the edge where it no longer slips is the tightness you're looking for
Hello, I have the 2950 - about a year old - just a question on the belt. I have it to 2nd knuckle tension/lift as you show in the video. It seems that the belt does not lay flush or flat to the belt, therefore when using it, there is a flapping noise when I walk. It doesn't slip or go off center. It looks like your belt is the same. It's almost like it's lifted off the deck a hair. Is that that unusual? A tech told me that's how Nordictrack belts are - not entirely flush w the deck. But I'm wondering if I can get rid of the flapping / bouncing noise. Thanks!
The floating over the deck is normal for sure. It sounds like possible foot drag if you're hearing it every step you take. Because the tread is floating, it will follow your foot if you don't lift it a touch higher than normal. That noise would sound similar to a zipper sound.
I have a C1750 which has been running fine for a couple years. I like to do sprints on this unit but recently whenever I turn the speed up high to sprint, the whole computer reboots and the machine shuts off. I turn it off and back on and it comes back up fine and I can jog at a normal pace with no issues. It just seems to happen when I do sprinting. Any idea what could cause this?
Sounds like a loose connection. Sprinting will vibrate the machine, and if the console blacks out totally, then reboots, I would check the connectors on the controller under the hood first
Only tip I argue is vacuuming directly on the electronic board. Would be a safer practice to compress air it, then vacuum above it
Excellent video! Well done and keep up the great work. Please do more on the new 2450. All the best!

Great video mate! What lubricant do you recommand for greasing the worm gear/incline motor?
I typically use ptfe grease on it.

90 hours of use.

@@campingalan settings- machine info- equipment info
you can just use silicone spray inside the deck
If the treadmill is used everyday, how often is this type of maintenance recommended?
The lubricating the deck part.... every 90 hours of use. They have lube kits out there that simplifies it
Our Commercial 2450 treadmill belt sides are under the plastic sides so I cannot reach under to lubricate belt and deck. Do I remove the sides or...?
I usually use a flat head screwdriver to retrieve it, however, removing the sides would work too, it's connected with screws on the bottom of the deck

It's possible the deck needs flipped as well if groves have been worn into it from no lubrication. If there's too much friction, the motor will stop.
@@gitfit875 sounds good. And what do you mean by deck being flipped? Nvm i just watched the video
Do you not need/have to lubricate the motor belt?
Mine seems to stop rotating during workouts from time to time
Definition do not lubricate it. If you're getting slippage from it, the tightness of the walking belt affects the tightness of the motor belt. Right at the edge where it no longer slips is the tightness you're looking for
What size is the hex needed for the belt tensioners? I’ve tried several sizes and it seems to be an inbetween - 35 or something similar? Any ideas?
