This page explains how to correctly lubricate the incline joints if your incline is squeaking when it is adjusted during your run.
How to lubricate the incline mechanism
- Please ensure your treadmill incline is set to level 0 and the power is switched off
- Grab some light oil (WD40 or similar multi-use lubricant)
- Hold the ends of the walking belt firmly and raise the frame until the lock latch locks in the storage position to allow easy access to the incline mechanism
- Place a small amount of lubricant on the 5 parts of the incline joints (the joints are indicated in the image here)
Lowering your treadmill
- To lower your treadmill, push the upper end of the frame forward, and gently press the upper part of the locking latch with your foot at the same time
- While pressing the locking latch with your foot, slowly lower the frame slightly
- Step back and let the frame slowly lower to the floor by itself
