Regular Maintenance Tips
To keep your Sole E35 elliptical in prime working order, regular maintenance is crucial. Begin by wiping down the machine after each use with a soft, damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Check all bolts and screws monthly, tightening them as needed to prevent any looseness or instability. Periodically inspect the pedals and rails, ensuring they are clean and free from obstructions. Lubricate the moving parts, such as the joints and wheels, as suggested in the manual, using a silicone-based lubricant to reduce friction and wear.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter problems with your Sole E35 elliptical, understanding common issues can help in quick resolution. If the console doesn’t power on, check the power cord and outlet. A squeaking noise often indicates loose bolts or the need for lubrication; inspect and tighten all hardware and apply silicone lubricant to the joints. If the resistance is not working, verify the console settings and ensure the resistance cable is connected correctly.

For pedal slipping or unusual movement, inspect the pedal assembly and ensure it is correctly installed and the rails are clean. If these steps do not resolve the issue, refer to the manual’s troubleshooting guide or contact Sole support for further assistance.
