Treadmill Mat and Accessories

By Matt Traylor

Once you have spent so much on a treadmill, and whether you packed it with features and add-ons or not, there is a huge list of available accessories you can buy to make your treadmill even shinier. But beyond all the bells and whistles that you may or may not want, there are a few to consider that will actually help the lifespan of your machine as well as the performance.

The first thing you may want to consider buying is a home repair kit for your treadmill. This will be handy for minor problems you may encounter with your new toy and will save you from having to spend the time and money visiting a repair shop.

Of course you can only do so many repairs yourself. Let the professionals handle the major problems such as mechanical failures. The good news is that the treadmill should come with decent warranty coverage, or else you did not do a good job researching before buying. Any parts or mechanical failure should be covered by most standard warranties.

It is crucial that you keep the treadmill clean so it will endure the lifetime of operation it was built for. Keeping the treadmill free of debris build up will go a long way to avoiding certain problems that frequently plaque machines.

A cleaning kit is available and usually comes with instructions on how to use the included tools to properly clean the treadmill. The kit will include basic cleaning tools like a cleaning brush, cleaning solution, and an application wand.

As with any motor, lubrication is an important part of protecting and maintaining the motor. Your treadmill will run into motor problems early if it is not properly lubricated. Lack of proper care is the leading reason that most motors will die or suffer serious problems before they should.

Now the most important thing that you should get with a treadmill, even if you get nothing else, is the treadmill mat. The reason for this is that it offers so much to the well-being of your treadmill. It helps to absorb shock that will reverberate back from the floor. And if you think carpet is enough to absorb the shock, carpet actually releases a lot of loose particles that can go up the insides and cause mechanical problems. A treadmill mat prevents that from happening.

Not as important as the treadmill mat is the cover that goes over the machine when not in use. It is not as vital as the mat because there is less threat of damaging the treadmill by dust coming down than particles going up and into the mechanics.

Everyone has particular specifications they want for their treadmills but most of these are well worth the money for anyone who wants to keep the treadmills functional for the duration of their useful life. - 17268
