Why Lubrication Is Critical Proper belt lubrication is THE most important maintenance task for treadmills in UAE. It reduces friction by up to 50%, prevents motor strain, extends belt life, and eliminates most common problems. In Dubai's climate, treadmills need more frequent lubrication due to dust and temperature fluctuations. How Often to Lubricate Home Use: Light use (1-3 hours/week): Every 4-5 months Moderate use (3-5 hours/week): Every 3 months Heavy use (5+ hours/week)
