Treadmill Maintenance (zero faults)
$140
Footscray VIC 3011, Australia
11th Jul 2025
This is a Sole F85 treadmill. There is nothing wrong with it (as far as I know). It's sort of been rotting in my living room and I'd like to start using it. In fact my only complaint would be that it's at a slight angle when walking when it should be 0 degrees incline. Aim is the following: 1)Lubricate the thing and kindly show me how to do it properly too. Ideally you have some lubricant please. 2)Help me fix the angle of the treadmill, if in fact it has an angle issue. I hope the fix for this is very quick. 3)General servicing. I want to actually use it regularly now and I figure it could use a bit of care before I start.

I have two manual roller blinds that need fixing (both in bedrooms). One is in working order but the bracket that holds the open/close winder has come loose from the wall.

I have a painter working on the house this week so would ideally like this done asap so that they can paint after the blinds have been fixed. - Due date: Before Friday, 11th Feb 2022
