If your device is a chain drive, clean the chain of excess dust and apply a small amount of lubricant to the chain, also grease the drive chain and chain elevation as needed. Use white lithium grease if available.

If you know the way he is alive, turn off the machine and check the fuses, you may need to lift the lid for it.
if you have the power, but the engine does not turn or have a bad power supply or motor brushes are worn. Contact the manufacturer information.
If the engine turns to check the drive belt is loose or broken. Tighten or replace as necessary.
walking belt moves, but there is a loud grinding noise.
Loosen the belt and see if the noise goes away, if you can not have a bad front roller. Sometimes you can spray in a roller bearing with a lubricant such as WD40 and it will solve the problem, but you may need to replace the roller.
If the noise does not go away then the motor bearings are probably bad and you'll have to replace the motor.

Unplug the machine and check the fuse engine elevation, replace if necessary. Check the elevation system for broken chains or cables, make sure something has not gotten caught in the gears.
