A home repair kit can come in handy when small problems start turning up through the aging of your treadmill. It is a good way to learn a little about the basics of your machine while saving money doing some easy fixing yourself.
The only limitation of a repair kit is that it is only good for minor problems. It is important that you take your machine in for a professional if it requires major work. But the upside is that most treadmills will come with adequate warranty to cover any mechanical or parts failure.
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.
For motorized treadmills, as most are, lubrication is important to protect the motor and optimize its efficiency. A lubrication kit will help keep the machine operating properly. In fact, most motor problems arise from burning the motor because of a lack of proper lubrication.
One of the most important accessories that some would say is a must more than it is an option is a treadmill mat. The mat goes underneath your treadmill to protect junk such as motor lube from messing with your floor or carpet. The mat will also catch any unwanted loose carpet fibers and ground dust from going upward into your treadmill whenever it is in use.
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.
In the end, there are all sorts of accessories you can buy for your treadmill if the funds allow for it, and you feel the use for them. But the ones mentioned above are very handy to have and probably worth your consideration.
