How do I know if my treadmill belt is worn out?

Run your hand along the underside and top to check for signs of excessive wear. This may come in the form of discoloration or extreme smoothness.

The belt may stop when you step on it if the distance between the two belt rollers needs adjustment. Either the belt has stretched, causing it to lose its grip on the rollers or the adjustable roller at the rear of the treadmill has moved.

What happens if my treadmill belt is off center?

Adjusting the alignment of the rear roller can prevent the walking belt from drifting to the side of the walking board. If rear roller alignment adjustment doesn’t keep the belt centered, then a damaged walking belt or bad roller can cause the belt to drift.

How often should you change treadmill belt?
