Should I remove the acrylic sheet on my treadmill?

Question

I own a Pro Form 585S Treadmill. One of the unique aspects of my treadmill is that it has a thin acrylic sheet between the belt and the deck. Well recently the acrylic sheet developed a few bubbles which caused the belt to make a lot of unnecessary noise when I walk over the bubbles. I sanded the bubbles down but because the acrylic is supposed to stay smooth, it made the problem worse. Now the deck is very smooth and very hard and seems like the perfect service for a treadmill belt to slide over. Should I remove the acrylic sheet?

I would never suggest altering a piece of exercise equipment without checking with the manufacturer due to safety reasons. Please use this link to contact them and ask them directly via your choice of a phone call or through email:
