Subject: [Sportsandrec] Treadmill maintenance

Hi all,
This question is kind of random, but since it pertains to blindness and
exercise equipment, I thought I'd ask here.
We have a home treadmill and are supposed to lubricate the running deck
every 150 miles or so. The instructions say to loosen the running belt and
then squirt 1/4 bottle of silicone oil evenly over the running deck under
the belt. I'm not sure if there's a nonvisual way to tell when I've used a
quarter of the bottle, and I'm a little concerned because unlike spraying a
baking pan or something like that where I can just feel if it's evenly
greased, it's hard to feel the entire running deck under the belt. So I'm
not quite sure how to tell when I've used enough and avoid using too much.
Do any of you have experience lubing treadmills, bikes or other equipment
with moving parts, or do you have any suggestions for me? My husband has
been handling this visually but I'd like to take some responsibility for
this maintenance.
Best, Arielle
