So I picked up a high end "floor model" treadmill for real cheap, and soon encountered the mat sticking and slipping. I spent several hours tightening and loosening the belt to no avail. It never occurred to me till I ran across this video that it More could be the pulley slipping. To confirm, I put a piece of white masking tape on the roller so I could see if it was stopping. Sure enough. It also did not dawn on me that the pulley could have been made of cheap plastic (?). My model was one with a flush pulley like you mention toward the end, but instead of drilling down thru the top as you suggested, I just drilled from the side at about a 45 degree angle thru the pulley and into the roller. Sunk 3 evenly spaced screws and bravo! Fixed! Best $2 I ever spent. Thanks!Less
Excellent presentation

Lifefitness HR 9000 Front roller pulley repair ...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the great visual tutorial on how to fix the front roller pulley on a treadmill. I have a Lifefitness HR 9000 and the belt was slipping. Troubleshooted and the problem was the pulley. I had to take the pulley out to drill the More holes and attach the screws but it was all worth it. Not a hard job at all. Saved me over $250 for a new front roller and also a service fee from Lifefitness, which would have been over $150 or more for sure. The treadmill is all fixed and the belt does not slip at all. Now I'm back to happy safe walking! Thankyou from Sydney Australia. Kind Regards SueLess
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a concise and well done video. 2 bucks for the video and 10 minutes of time is all it took to make my treadmill work like new again You saved me from buying a $150. front roller that would eventually have done the same thing again and from all More the time it would have taken to put it in. Thanks again Mark, Bruce N.Less

A really clear process for fixing a slipping motor drive belt, without removing the front roller.
