After countless hours searching for the answer, you sir gave it to me in the first two minutes of the video. THANK YOU!
Tim Wilson Thank you Very glad I could help Dave
My hero! I absolutely live this treadmill but it started doing this. Now it back to perfection!
Well thank you!!!
This was exactly the help we needed. The squeak is all gone now.
Glad I could help
I want to give you a huge thanks. I own a Sole F63 purchased in 2020. I had the same squeaky noise. The only difference is mine only squeaked in an incline position, not flat. I used your video and went through the entire diagnostic. I also bought some WD40 specialist lithium grease spray. I lubed all the bolts exactly as you said and made sure they were handtight. It hasn't squeaked since in the incline or flat. It was definitely the carriage bolt on the bottom left side doing most of the squeaking. Thanks for the help.
My pleasure and thank you
Thank you!! Sole F63 owner here. I tried lubricating that lower left bolt with silicon spray lube and wd40 several times. I tried tightening and loosening the bolt, and still that annoying squeak was there. Your video was the only advice that worked: lithium lube and that SECOND hidden bolt under the the left leg cover. As soon as I lifted up the cover I saw rust on the nut. Was able to fix it in five minutes and now it is completely silent. THANK YOU!
That’s what I love to hear.And you are very welcome. Yea wd40 is horrible for lube it is good for helping break nuts and bolts lose.
This was so helpful! Thank you!
My pleasure and your welcome!
It worked! Thank you so much for this video :)
Awesome ! your welcome
Awesomeness. Thank you for this vid
Thank you for viewing
You sir, are my hero.
Thanks so much 😁wow I will add this to my parts site.
Advice helped both in terms on what to buy as grease and where to put it. Many thanks.
The grease I am holding out at about 1.8 minutes into video where to put it comes later I also have clear pics of lube in Elliptical videos and I think in my sole treadmill maintenance video . Where to put it I show all over mostly folding joints
@@FitnessTechnologyServices Sorry, maybe we misunderstood each other. I meant your video helped me both with what to buy and how to apply it. Now my treadmill is not squeaking anymore. Many thanks for the video.

@@FitnessTechnologyServices The products came so quickly that I actually did the maintenance this morning. Thanks Dave. I also wrote on your other maintenance video. I would like to encourage anyone owning home equipment to do this maintenance. Dave's video and easy and methodical. Please support this guy as he is offering a real service here. Thanks again, Dave.
@@tonyc8295 Wow thank you for your support .And kind words 😃
Thanks a million 🙏🏻 You are a life saver sir 🫡
Thank you
Thank you I did what you said and it worked
Always my pleasure. Please subscribe I have lots of videos on Sole units
Thank you!
Always my pleasure
THANK YOU!!!
Always my pleasure
Great advice and great video. Just a note: I've an F80 and the pivot points are in somewhat different places. I just found that I don't have to remove the plastic shield, which is good because the screw is in a miserable location, too deep for a shorty screwdriver and too close to the upright for a regular length driver and very difficult to get started. Hope this saves someone a few curse words.
That’s good advice! And yes some of the newer models are in a different place. Sorry I don’t have that model to work with. And that cover is very annoying you are so right
Amazing. Thanks :)
Leigh Riby Glad I could help
Thank YOU!!!
Always a pleasure.
Much appreciated!
Glad to help. Thanks Dave
Your video was very helpful and helped me grease these pivot points. I was still having a bad squeak when running. I ended up pulling off the silver deck rails and removing, greasing and reinserting all of the deck bolts that run along the sides. Squeak is gone. Just thought I would share that with you.
That’s a great repair.you don’t run into that often , Thanks for posting so everyone can see and benefit from it
Very helpful video.
I have a 2023 Sole F80 and it has the same exact squeaky noise. You would think they could put 10 cents worth of grease on it from the factory, crazy.
The plastic cover was rattling bad on mine also, even when you lightly tapped it with your finger. I put these rubber stoppers underneath on each side and its solid as a rock now. Again, you would think they could put 10 cent rubber stoppers on it from the factory. 20 cents makes it go from sounding like a $200 cheap POS to a commercial grade rock solid treadmill.
Well I am glad it worked out thanks for posting . So others can see
Thank you! My treadmill is quiet as can be now!
Glad I could help
thanks for the video, this fixed the issue on a new f80. It seems that there is no quality control on these treadmill.
You are so welcome
Perfect. I will start troubleshooting
Perfect I hope this video helps
Great information! Jus a word of caution. Leave the nut on 2 or 3 threads before hitting with hammer. Will protect the threads on bolt.
Ok will do and thanks
Thank you Sir 🙌

Hey there. Can the belt lubricant provided by Sole with the treadmill be used for this? Thanks so much for this video!
Not really that is walk belt lube very important to do but too thin for frame joints.We are adding the frame grease to are web site next week ! But you can order it on my email Fitnesspartspro@gmail.com
The last set of screws you lubed (carriage bolt) how tight do you hve to make them? Should they be a bit loose where the plastic washer freely spins? Thanks
No play firm if not that joint will squeak
I have a Proform Smart 2000 treadmill that I believe needs lubricant on these points. They're not accessible like they are on this Sole Treadmill however. The motor hood does not come off my treadmill despite taking out all five screws. Do you have any idea how I can access these points on a Proform Smart 2000 so I can stop the terrible noise? I've had the machine for 5 months and it's always made this noise.
I do not know the 2000 by memory . I have a video on Nordic and Proform hoods in General on my channel titled removing my treadmill motor hood it might help I would need your PFTL # to look it up for you .Send # to fitnesspartspro.gmail.com
I have a Horizon 7.8AT same squeak, have you performed this kind of lubrication on a horizon to get rid of the squeak?
Well no but in general it’s good to lube pivot points
I basically bought the F85 because I thought it was one of the quietest machines, but after just a couple weeks of use its making really loud squeaking noises on incline, pretty disappointed, I don't get how it being so new it could be rusting already, I will try this method, thank you for the video.
Well so new it is not rust maybe just some loose bolts ? Check under the base cover on the left and right side
@@FitnessTechnologyServices After my first comment I actually held off doing it, decided to contact Sole Fitness/Dyaco, I was thinking my machine is like brand new, I shouldn't be messing with it, and maybe I could possibly void the warranty etc. They basically told me to record the issue, I did, they responded back with a PDF titled "Incline noise" basically diagrams of exactly what you did, you actually go a step further and do the left/right base cover area. Took me an hour to go to hardware store and do the procedure, I was definitely more messy in the procedure than how you made it look so easy (I'm no handyman) did the left/right like you, all said and done it worked! I'd say its 90% better with a lil bit squeak. I am thankful you posted this video it helped, and was way more thorough than their PDF. I am definitely not happy with Sole, I have a feeling I am going to be dealing with having to loosen and grease those areas somewhat often, and it happening after just a couple weeks of being brand new is very disappointing, no "sorry for the inconvenience" or nothing from them. Anyways, Thanks again! you have a new subscriber
@@justinpodur7015 Thank you so much for your kind words about video.Hopefully you won’t have to adjust or tighten to often , Once it done should last ...long thanks form subscribing
Which Super Lube is used? I'm trying to find the exact one to buy. Thank you for your help!
Silicone lubricating grease made by super lube I have a good view of it on my video called sole elliptical maintenance ha😁 it is in the first minute so you don’t have to watch much
@@FitnessTechnologyServices Ohh ok, thank you! Yea I've watched the video a few times, but it was described as "Super Lube Clear Gel" - so I didn't know if it was their Anti-Corrosion, Silicone Lubricating Grease or Synthetic Grease because it all came in clear gel. Thank you for clarifying, I really appreciate it!
Hello sir. What year is that model? How old is that model? Thank you for your videos. They're great?
I don't know for certain, but looks VERY similar to mine which is Sole F63. Hope that helps 🤷♂️
Hello and thank you viewing it is a f/80 2011
Hello, thanks for the vid. I found a plastic cap on the the first bolt you showed from the inner side. Should I remove it? It appears to be attached to the frame.
You would have to send me a pic never seen it capped . Oh and you are welcome
@@FitnessTechnologyServices Here it is: drive.google.com/file/d/12WKZxHTLyKrX44xHVRq9L71tb_Z3BNMb/view?usp=share_link
Well first time I have seen it capped . But you would have to, the nut is under it. I have only seen nut caps on strength equipment were your leg might rub on it. Always learning on TH-cam
Hi I need your advice! My dad helped me out by lubing the screws as you did in the video. However, while I was upstairs he decided to also lube the drive belt. It made it extremely slippery as you can imagine. He tried to wipe clean countless times and it still slips. I am going to call for it to be repaired and would like your opinion on what to have fixed. Should I ask that the drive belt be replaced? This was been a disaster & I could really use your insight. Thanks!
Yes sir you should have it replaced some times you can use belt dressing it’s sticky
@@FitnessTechnologyServices Sounds like a plan. I appreciate your help and quick response! I will be be purchasing the belt from you guys online & I look forward to running again.
😀
I have a f63 and having a slight and I mean slight squeaking from the motor area in front . Anything help for that?
That normally is the motor belt. See video on fixing motor belt
Hi, do you repair treadmill consoles? I own a proform pro 2000 and the console doesn’t light up. One of my family members has the exact same model and we tried his console in my treadmill and it worked... so that’s why I know for sure that the console is broken. Thanks
Hello I am sorry I do not do board repair . I would have to look for replacement
Thanks for your response..I already ordered one from eBay
I purchased this machine less than a month ago and it start doing a lot of a squeaky sounds but more when it’s in flat level and I’m running, could be the same issue ?
Well that’s hard to say . It couldn’t hurt to tighten incline/ lift bolts. But they May look different on your unit
It looks like you have an F80 model which is the same as mine. Can you confirm as I have the thump noise in the rear roller that I believe to be bad bearings. I ask to confirm your model as I would like to get the bearings and have it ready for service instead of having to remove the roller twice. Thank you!
Yep it is a f/80 but most bearings are the same on sole treadmills it is best to see what bearing number is on the bearing wall so you can Google the number I don’t think Sole sells the bearings
If it is my video I only did that for a customer I normally change the roller. But it cost more and more on shipping I have seen other videos on changing but they make a big deal of it even mess the axel up and have to buff it up. Just lightly tap it out
I've done all the recommendations regarding squeaking, however, my treadmill seems to be squeaking at the end of the treadmill where it rolls under. Any suggestions?
Hmm at the end the rear roller might be going bad or walk deck mounting screws are loose
I’ve had the treadmill for only 8 months I hope the roller isn’t bad. How do I check the deck screws?
@@deniseespinola1538 You have to remove the side rails to see bolts . Is this still under warranty ! I have a video changing sole walk belt , you can see bolts . Also does it make noise when running with no one on it . Send me a video to fitnesspartspro@gmail.com I will check it when I get in
@ Fitness Technologies Services
Is the appropriate lube for the squeaky points the Super Lube 21030?
I can’t find that number on the tube of lube , but I do have a good pic of it on my parts site. Fitnesspartspro.com
@@FitnessTechnologyServices
The link just brings me to the main page.
There is a description of “Super Lube 21030 Synthetic Grease”.
Is that the right one?
@@mikemcginness1881 Yep that is now the only one I use on frame and arm bushing ,lift joints Etc.
Does anyone know if the original sole running deck on this model can be flipped over?
As far as I know only the TT8 on sole treadmills can be flipped over .The one in this video can not
@@FitnessTechnologyServices thanks for info,
I am looking at buying a treadmill as Covid forced all my local gyms to close. I have read some reviews stating that Sole Treadmills are all having electronic mother board failures. Are these isolated incidents or a chronic problem? Would you buy a Sole or choose another product? Thanks for your input in advance
Well the f85 had software issues related to time speed issues but only on its touchscreen model .But for me I am not a program user (influencer) I base quality on factory warranty the longer they trust it the better I trust it . Based on what you want to spend ! And I think the console issue is coming to a end
@@FitnessTechnologyServices thanks!!! I just subscribed to your channel and shared the link with others on the net
@@temptingfate759 thank you So much
my sole f63 creaks in decline mode only, any thoughts?
Hmmm never have seen that. Would still tighten hardware
My right lube point in the 3:00 mark is giving me issue. I can loosen it and tap it but I never get any space to get lube in. Other side was fine. I just lubed the both bolt ends and tried to shoot spray white lithium n between washer but I don't know if it got in.
That normally means the nylon center is stripped hard to get off some times if you clamp down on nut side you can put pressure on it and bolt will then back out ? But if not Issue only maintenance I would wait
The bolt backs out but I cant get any separation to get lube inside the washer.
@@Gary3205 Hmm send me a pic of that
Will do, I'm also gonna try and install a speed control on rail if you have any tips. My went bad and I have no speed or incline control except on console
Where can I send you a pic and video?
Can you use WD40?
Alicia Fisher Never that is a oil needs to some type silicone
Alicia Fisher you should use either sole lube or Landice
Fitness Technology Services is it better to use wd40 silicone or the wd40 white lithium grease spray
jess donut linthium always on squeaks
