What are the most common elliptical maintenance-related questions?
How do you fix noisy elliptical machines?
Elliptical machines have a lot of moving parts, so loud squeaking, grinding, or knocking usually signals a lack of lubrication. You can add all-purpose equipment grease to the machine by removing external covers and applying the lubricant to all pivot points.
How do you maintain an elliptical machine?
Because of the many moving parts, it is important to keep an elliptical machine clean. This will help prevent dust, dirt, and debris from getting inside joints and wheels. In addition to wiping the wheel, foot pads, and frame, you should vacuum under the machine to remove debris that could get stuck.
What should I do if my elliptical feels unstable?
You should not use an unstable elliptical. If the machine wobbles during use, consider moving it to a more level surface. You can also check for loose bolts or screws on the frame or supports and tighten them if needed.
