That is EXACTLY what I figured would be the best way to lube a treadmill belt. I haven't bought mine yet but am preparing for a purchase soon. I didn't like that "quicky" method of using a long tipped squeeze bottle. My method is almost the same as yours. I would prefer to wipe down the whole platform with a LIGHT coating of SILICONE OIL AND THEN turning my hand upside down and LIGHTLY coating the underside of the belt, too. From all the repairs I've been reading about on treadmills, it seems that a lot of the electrical issues are cause by electrical overload. A dry belt increases motor overload and hot wires until something electrical just gives out. I want a slippery belt. But I'll bet that over 90% of treadmill owners never oil their moving parts or adjust belt tension or do any maintenance. Just get on and beat it to death and then complain about product quality. That's the American way. How many car owners check their own car oil? Not many.
Great video! I really appreciated the attention to detail. Worked great on my Sole F80 (2020 model) although I needed about 10 full turns to get the belt loose enough to effectively reach under my belt. I’m sure it differs by the treadmill!
I own a fitness equipment company for 15 years. And I can tell you that you used FAR too much Lubrication on the deck of that treadmill. I realize that there were some manuals that improperly instructed the used to use an excessive amount of lube for one application. This is for a one time use package of .025 ounces of lubrication. What you just did by over lubricating your treadmill is saturate the belt to the extent that it will ruin it. It will become sticky soon and need to be replaced. If you’re lucky and are able to clean out the motor tray before it gets all over the electrical and the control board, you might be able to save yourself from costly repairs. I’ve personally had to replace dozens of these treadmills from customer who went online to find out instructions on how to lubricate their treadmills improperly. Hopefully your’s is still under warranty.
I just posted a comment about the way I would lubricate my treadmill when I soon buy it. My idea is to use a cotton cloth saturated with silicone oil and then squeeze it out. Then reach under the belt and wipe down the whole platform. After that, turn my hand upside down and wipe down the underside of the belt, too. Is that also too much? I'm glad I saw your comment before ruining my new machine.
You say you buy the lubricant directly from the manufacturer; do you have a link? I have this same make/model of treadmill, and when I go to the Sole website I don't see anywhere to buy the lubricant from.
First of all, I would like to thank you for the video. However, allow me to point out a few steps that were not done right in relation to smoking a brisket: 1. Seasonig was not even and you forgot the sides. 2. Puting the meat in a ziplock bag was unnecessary. It could've stayed in the fridge uncovered until the grill is ready. 3. Too much lit charcoal on the kettle for a low and slow smoke. You need much less, especially if the meat is this close to the heat source, most likely that flat ccoked hot&fast.4. Do not light up your smoking wood all at once. You will oversmoke it and mess up your temp control. 5. You wrapped before your your bark had set. 6. I cannot call this a comparison.
I think this was a better video than the manufacturer video on how to use this filter, I don't know if skipping the presoaking of the filters step is good or not though. At least Geeky Asian Dad had the smarts to run water through the machine with and without the filters for cleaning. You think the corporate people would think of that one. Bravo dude.
Mine would won't start after in storage for 1.5 years. It turn over with starter fluid but dies immediately. Next see if the jets clogged up in the carb, that's for another day.
.Look at the thickness of the yogurt, is it different from the milk or starting the yogurt? Why do you think the milk is heated to 90C before adding the yogurt that to you think will change in the yogurt if you keep it warm for a longer time?
