Hi
I just recently got a used treadmill in fairly good shape, so far i run maybe 5-6 times/wk for 60 mins for both running/walking for cardio and weight training for warmups/cooldowns and the treadmill keeps displaying "LUBE BELT" on display and i just recently lubed it with silicone oil, maybe about 50 ML or so, does anybody have this same problem? its a horizon treadmill, i really hope someone can come up with some good advice because i'll like to keep this until winter anyways, i run outside in the summer but would like to keep this until then anyways, thanks

    Have you tried googling the product for an online users manual, or to see if others have reported the same issue?

    Use some KY. And be gentle with it.

    There is a product called Lube-N-Walk that I used to use that worked well. It's an oil type thing that you put on a long sponge of sorts that you can slide under the belt. It kept it moving really well.

    Yah i googled it and its a discontinued model so its hard to find the manuals but i did find some tips on how to lube the belt but i wanted to ask how often does one lube a belt? i just lubed it and already its asking me to lube it again and ....more often than not, it wont let me press anything until i unplug, lube, plug it in, then it still says lube belt, how often does one lube a treadmill...?
