I'm not familiar with the treadmill specifically, but here is some general information that might be helpful. When a motor is under heavier load, it draws more current and therefore gets hotter. If for example, you were able to stop the motor shaft from rotating with an extreme load, it would draw what is called STALL CURRENT which is very high. So the problem seems to be that the load is out of specification. I'm assuming it would probably get hot if it was running with nobody on it as well. That would mean that the drive mechanism driven by the motor is not moving freely. If you can somehow decouple the motor from the treadmill drive system so that it has no load, and then move the mechanism by hand to see if it feels like there is a lot of resistance in the belts, pulleys or whatever drives the treadmill, then you need to lubricate to make it move smoothly. Or if you cannot decouple the motor, just look for all the bearings and pulleys and lubricate those but be careful not to get oil on drive belts or surfaces that require friction such as the surface of the belts or treadmill band. Don't ignore that the motor could get hot enough to start a fire so it is important to resolve this. It is possible that there are shorted windings and the motor is no longer good. If you can decouple the motor and run it no load, and it still gets hot, that would be an indication of such a shorted winding problem. Hope this is a little helpful. G
