How to Measure a Walking Belt:
1) Using a tape measure, measure the exact width of the walking belt.
2) To measure the length, there are two ways to do it.
a) If you are not going to use the existing belt and longer, carefully
cut the belt width-wise. Lay the belt out straight and measure from
one end to the other on one of the edges of the belt. This will give
you the exact length of the belt.
b) Another method is to use a piece of twine or string.
3) Tape one end of the string to the walking belt and rotate the belt
completely around till the loop of string is complete.
4) Cut the string exactly at the end of the loop.
5) Remove the string from the treadmill and lay in a straight line.
6) Measure the full length of the string, this is the length of the belt.
7)
Report the width and length measurements back to us at
www.TreadmillDoctor.com or by email at doc@treadmilldoctor.com
and we will get you a quote on a new belt.
Make sure that your measurements are fairly exact. Most treadmills
can take a belt that has some variation in it due to the adjustment
bolts that are located on the rollers. Vast differences in measurement
can make a huge difference in regard to if the belt fits or not.
