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.
