How to Fix A Squeaky Elliptical

はじめに

Has your elliptical started to squeak or become rusty from wear and tear? To fix it, you will need to follow this simple guide. First, test out your elliptical to see where the problem is. Is the squeaking coming from multiple locations or is it maybe just one screw? Second, you must clean your elliptical. You can use any generic cleaning product. Then, for the parts that are harder to clean, or for plastic parts covering metal, you can use Uline or Air In A Can to get the debris out if it is difficult to do with a wipe. Next, grab your WD-40 and spray it in the tight parts of your machine. You want to spray onto bolts or screws and anywhere where two pieces of metal connect. For an additional step and lubrication, you can add grease to the bolts and screws on your machine. For your last step, test it out! Your machine should have no squeaking now! If you see that your machine is still squeaking, repeat steps three to five.
