It’s a power jog j100/200 of jx100/200 it turns on and the displays works fine. The speed increases but there is no drive going to the belt. Also clicks and comes up with a fault. Any help will be appreciated. I believe this machine is nearly 20 years old and was donated over 10 years ago.

Try adding 10-15ml of silicone oil and if that does not help then you may need a new running belt. You should not normally need a increase the speed or torque unless you have changed the MCB or the motor in which case this can be done for fine tuning the new components.

If I adjust the speed up will the torque go up as well? Thank You! For a treadmill with the supposed most HP in its class, I'm sure something is wrong, I can slow the belt down or speed it up with my feet quite easily and it makes it feel very cheap. Any advice would be appreciated.

This could be why the drive belt has worn and could explain the burning smell (could be the drive motor over heating or the drive belt slipping). Apply 15 to 20ml of silicone oil under the running belt and walk it in then see if theat makes a difference.

I've looked online at youtube videos showing typical symptoms, but was going to leave the cover un-screwed so to run a short time and quickly take it off and see where the smell is coming from. I did notice the belt on the motor (has ribs in the belt that fit in the grooves in the circular fitting that the belt goes over), that some of the ribs in the belt are ragged, a bit worn in places, and I can see some white fabric (the underlying liner inside the belt?)between the grooves. I also see some black 'stuff' under the motor/belt on the underlying housing, like black dust, possibly coming off the belt ribbing? Is that a possible likely scenario? I bought a silicone lubricating kit for treadmills and applied it twice but it still makes that smell.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946326014748728705.post-24274683280616025002017-12-02T16:05:24.276+00:002017-12-02T16:05:24.276+00:00This is an obsolete machine but there are some spa...This is an obsolete machine but there are some spares still available on eBay and here https://www.gymparts.co.uk/searchresults?terms=powerjog#<br />The Treadmill Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655842688764296395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946326014748728705.post-51713000809871810622017-12-02T01:45:05.067+00:002017-12-02T01:45:05.067+00:00Hi,

I recommend you get it checked out by a motor rewind specialist and that you double check all the wiring connections. The motor is located next to the running belt and so it may be covered in dust and dirt and so a thorough vacuum out of the motor and surrounding area may help. The taco can be accessed by removing a small plastic cover and this too can get full of dust which prevents proper operation.

This could indicate a motor or controller problem. If the running belt is turning on its own and you get the "taco" message then either the speed sensor requires further cleaning or it is faulty.
