Proform Treadmill Belt


How to change Treadmill belt?

I have worn out the walking belt on my Proform treadmill and have purchased a new one. the new belt came with no instructions and I have had no luck getting the front roller off.

The instructions are not in the manual, but should have come with the belt, the company may send you a new copy, if they don’t…..

Start at the back, with the rear roller.. You’ll actually have to take the whole walking deck off, it’s just easier that way.

use an allen wrench to take out the 2 bolts that hold on the rear roller, takes about 20 or so full turns counter clockwise. This will loosen the belt, 1 step needed to remove the front roller.

Then remove the plastic hood over the motor.

the motor belt now needs to be loosened or removed. if there is a spring tensioner that will do it, if not, you have to loosen the bolts on the motor and rock it forward. That will loosen the drive belt so the front roller is now ready to be removed. It may have a bolt on the right side, if it does, remove that bolt and pull out the roller. if there is no bolt on the right, you will need to wiggle the posts of the front roller out of their holders and set the roller aside.

Next step, you need to remove the plastic from the sides of the deck, perhaps you call them rails. They need to come off and there are so many different ways of attaching them, you will need to look at your owners manual to figure this out. Then manual does not give instructions, but it has an exploded diagram that shows how it is put together.

After those are removed, take the wooden deck off the frame (there will be a few screws and bolts for this too).once the deck is off, you simply slip off the belt and slip (this is much easier with a helping hand).

If you have made it this far, reverse the process. Contact me if you have any specific questions, and let me know what model it is when you contact me.

I realize that with so many different models, there are parts I have not accounted for. Just be careful and keep track of all the parts. Use sandwhich bags or magnetic trays to make sure you don’t loose the small parts…..

I found an email I sent a friend with the same question and here was my answer, I think I got it from a website, just don’t recall which one. I hope it makes sense:

Step 1: Unplug your treadmill and remove the motor hood from the motor area. Be careful to not pull on any wires in the motor area. This area may need cleaning. The best method is to use a can of compressed air, which can be purchased, at our web site.

Step 2: Remove the plastic side covers on the deck surface. If you cannot see staples holding the plastic down or if you see staples only in the rear or front of the plastic, you must slide the covers toward the rear of the machine. Do not force the plastic up if you don’t see staples. If you see staples on the full length of the unit, use a standard screwdriver and force the plastic up putting the screwdriver as close to each staple as possible. This will break the plastic immediately around each staple but will be covered when you replace the plastic with black, small, wood screws.

Step 3: The walking belt must be loosened before moving on. Follow the instructions provided in your owner’s manual to make this adjustment. If you have lost your owner’s manual, follow the directions provided from the troubleshooting link on our home page. Be careful to not remove these bolts from the rear roller or the slack roller of your treadmill.

Step 4: If your treadmill is equipped with side handrails, these must be removed before the deck will be able to be slide from its mounting position. Follow the directions in your owner’s manual to remove these rails, if necessary.

Step 5: You should see large Phillips screws holding down the deck surface. Remove these screws and slide the deck from beneath the belt. Belt removal is not necessary unless you are going to replace the belt.

Step 6: Replace the deck and reverse the steps listed above. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please email us.
