NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
I received my Sole F80 today and had watched this video several times while I waited for it to be shipped and then played it as I assembled the treadmill. I’m a woman in her 60’s and assembled it all by myself in 2 hours, taking my time, thanks to these great instructions and tips. The light on the visor (I wore a hiking headband lamp I’d forgotten I had and dug out just for this after seeing the video) and lowering the upper sidearm cap to insert that one screw were definitely lifesavers!
Kathleen Miritello These are the reasons I enjoy making these videos! I’m glad I could help and I’m glad you got the treadmill assembled! Good job!! 💪🙂✌️❤️
Thank you for the video... I didn't even have to read the instructions... I just watched the video step by step... it was easy to do... thank you for the video... I'm 5"2 , 140.... I originally payed for set up and delivery .... can't believe I was going to hire a company to do this originally... thank goodness their waitlist was 3 weeks to a month and I didn't want to wait... I just saved $168... they put it n the back of my suv... I took the peices out 1 by 1 still n the box in the back of my suv... with the help of my kids... Thank you

Great job with your instructions on putting together this treadmill I give you 15 stars out of 10 the best part was that you took your time and showed the instruction book as you were going along building it. Its always better to see someone on video building this than reading the instruction book, awesome job
MsJudithFarley That’s wonderful to know. I’m very glad to be able to help through my videos. You helped me as well in letting me know whether my videos are being recorded & edited in a way that helps people. Thanks again. Enjoy that treadmill and all the best to you and yours. 🙂✌️❤️
This is another very helpful video for anyone wanting to assemble a Sole treadmill. It should make it very clear as long as someone follows all the steps.
A very thorough, easy and clear way to show how to assemble this treadmill. I bought mine at Dick's Sporting Goods. I opted for going the easy way and paid for delivery and assembly. BAD mistake! The contractor employed by Dick's messed up TWO, not just one machine! It's been over two months and still no treadmill functioning correctly. I could have saved myself a ton of headaches and started running two months ago. Great, great tutorial!

GREAT instructions! Thank you! I haven't purchased this treadmill (yet) - Anyone who has had the SOLE80 for at least several months can comment on if the belt stays in place after adjusting it to the middle? I have read many reviews of this happening - and horrible customer service from this company.
Thank you so much for making this video. The instructions in the manual were awful and this made it so much easier. Great job putting this video together

Thank you for these instructions. I just finished assembling mine. I'm not sure if mine was just wonky or what but Holy crap this thing is a NIGHTMARE to assemble. Nothing lined up correctly. Half the screws didn't want to go all the way in. The plastic housing didn't match up. I gave up on the plastic housing on the base. It just would not take the screws. You make this look so easy!
Your video helped a lot and saved me a few hundred bucks delivery and installation fees and then would have to wait 2 months and wasnt guaranteed anyways so thank you! I am having the same problem of my belt keeps going to the right it's only been a few days so hopefully a few more turns and it's fixed but also at 5.0 running it makes a kind of louder whining noise but any other speed it's fine

I plan on putting my treadmill on carpet in a spare bedroom just as your customer did in this video. Do you think the mat Sole sells on their website is necessary to protect the carpet or is it a waste of money? Thanks.

Going to echo what most have said about this video. Thank you! I brought mine home yesterday and completed the assembly all by myself. Barely looked at the manual. So excited!
The video was good but I was unable to get the console to connect to the rails. I tried for an hour and a half and I eventually dropped it, probably breaking it. I was just not strong enough to hold both sides at the same time and get them to connect. Kudos to the rest of you who were able to do it. You are stronger than me.

Very useful video. In my opinion, it is much better and clear than the instructions that came with the machine, which were not very good. It made it easier to put the treadmill together.
Our Sole F63 has not been used for several years. The treadmill has been unplugged. We got it out plugged it up, turned on the main switch on the bottom and the display came on. The problem: the belt will not turn. My wife worked with it for a while with no luck. I worked on it. I set my weight, picked a program and got the belt to start turning. My wife keeps reading a message on the display, "Please set time." I've got the instruction manual. I've seen the 5, or so, steps in setting a program. Is there a "quick and easy" way to use this F63 treadmill please? Does it sound like a mechanical issue? Does it need lubrication, after being stored for a long time? ANY suggestions? Thank you! Please make a RUclips video on how to set this thing up to use!!! Thank you so much for doing what you have done with this video!
Thanks, helped a lot. We used it a few times. Couple things I noticed. There's been a shhhh sound from belt from beginning. I thought this was normal, but I felt under the belt and it feels totally dry. I thought these were supposed to be pre-lubed. Also yesterday after jogging on it, I put the incline to 15 and slowed the treadmill down. But the treadmill kept going at a speed faster than it should. I kept slowing it down, even to .5 and it was still fast. Any help would be appreciated.
Are there any wheels on this for easy transport to different rooms? My last treadmill had them and they were highly useful, I don’t think I want a treadmill without them.
Thank you so much for this. I am a tad "mechanically challenged" and am getting this exact treadmill. I am more of a "visual" person versus reading a thick manual. So your video was AWESOME and very much appreciated by me. Keep up the great work!
Excellent tutorial on assembly of the Sole f80. I just put mine together today. Your instructions were on point, precise and accurate. Thank you for the awesome video!
This is the only solution from my understanding. Unless you know how to replace the sensor yourself if they send a new one your way. I hope this helps somehow? E3 is a sensor issue. You will need a technician to come out to your house to fix the issue.
Fixed it. The incline motor had the 3 wiring placed wrong (red-power, white and black for earthing) from the factory installation. This was unbelievable from Sole’s factory assembly electrician’s end but i’m glad i was able to fix it. The motor had a failsafe which kept shutting it off because of the wrong wirings and displayed E3 as that error!
We missed up when pulling it out of the box and took the strap off. Is there a way to release the folding mechanism? We can not put it together like it is😭
life saver!!!!, thanks for the video it got me through assembling my treadmill. for some reason I found the covers to be a pain in the ass to put that tiny screw in and tight
You’re welcome! Glad I could help. I struggled with those covers too...I just cut that portion out of the video 😁✅. Enjoy that treadmill, it’s an awesome one.
Great video ! Just got finished assembling an F80, glanced at the directions twice but had the video running step by step. Getting the sucker on the bottom level with just my wife and I was tough. Took some creative work. With everything out of the box, the bed/main part must still be 200 pounds. Thanks !

This is a great video! There is a step where many people seem to have a lot of problem with the assembly (some kind of plastic cover requiring the use of tiny screws). I don't follow what step it is. Could someone please indicate where it is in the video or clarify what step it is? Thank you.
Hi there, great video. I'm a heavier person at 325 lbs, but I still consider myself semi-athletic and can still jog for extended periods and do sprint intervals. I've ran on many commercial gym treadmills in my time and have sometimes ran into a big problem - that occasionally, the belt would feel like it skips/sticks/stutters for just a brief instant. I'm unsure what's caused this; it could be that I step or stride in just a way with too much pressure or weight. It didn't ALWAYS happen on EVERY treadmill, but sometimes. I decided to purchase the F80 for my covid-started home-gym, and unfortunately I'm noticing it doing this same thing. It happens randomly, not too often, but maybe once every ~2-5 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less. The skip is extremely jarring and frustrating to deal with. Ever hear of a problem like this before or have any insights about what could cause it or how to address it? Thanks so much.

This made putting the treadmill together AMAZINGLY easy!! Thank you! What I can't figure out is the Bluetooth speaker setup. I've downloaded the Sole App, but I thought you'd be able to connect to the Bluetooth and get my Apple Music through those speakers. Anyone having the same issue? Suggestions?
Was wondering if you have any suggestions for taking the treadmill apart. We have already removed the computer panel and any small items attached to the two support arms. The plastic covers are all loose. We cannot remove the arms. We can get both to move an inch or so upward and that's it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Wanda Lemaster-Dotson Those arms have a total of four bolts for each arm at the bottom where they attach to the base of the treadmill. Are you unable to lift up the plastic covers to the arms? There are two small screws to take out in order to be able to slide the plastic covers up to reveal the four bolts that hold the two arms upright.
Hi, we bought a solef80 treadmill, and we are struggling to attach the left upright tube into the frame base. The right one (with the wire) went in fine, but the left one won't fit. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
I’m sorry for such a late response. Sometimes you do have to put a little force on the bars to get the hole to line up. The only way I don’t see it not working is the left upright is actually bent. Let me know if you figured it out or not.
That’s exactly what the sole technician said too and requested for pics. Unfortunately, the hole in the frame base was misaligned and we had to return it. Thank you for replying!
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate. I have one question, does the belt come lubricated out of the box? Or do I need to add lubricant? Because I checked under the belt and I don’t really see oil. Thanks!
Usually treadmills that aren’t oiled will have a lubrication bottle in the packaging, if there’s no oil bottle in the packaging it should be pre-oiled. I hope that helps?
@@christiangarcia9021 You lift up the belt on the outside edges and then you squeeze the lubricant out at a consistent rate while moving the bottle in an "s" motion about half the length of the belt from the middle front of the belt to the middle back or about 15inches of lubricant on both the left and right side.
Well I had to comment. Your video is great. You seem like a sound dude and you made it all easy to follow, and useful tips at the end as well. Respect to you Sir, much appreciated. I have an f85 to do tomorrow in my garage, and feel like I can get it going after watching this. Well done mate. And... thanks!
You’re very welcome. I appreciate the support and I’m glad to have helped 🙂. Good to know my videos are doing what I intended them to do. All the best with the assembly and I hope you and yours are well.
This was such a helpful video. It would have taken twice as long, if not more, if I just used the instructions alone. You gave some great tips (tools, head lamp, etc... I actually enjoyed putting together the treadmill with you assistance. Great job!
That’s really great to read. Thanks for letting me know how much it helped you with the assembly. It motivates me to keep making helpful videos. I hope you and yours are well. Don’t forget to enter our power tool GIVEAWAY if you like tools. 🙂✌️❤️
They are not necessary, those are mor for aesthetics but also to keep people from getting scratched when bumping into the uncovered base and hardware of the machine.
You loved my comment but never answered my question? Also, you should be making a clear point that those plastic coverings (that slide up and attach to the the console) are strictly Left/RIght. I put those on and had the whole machine together, and went to slide those up, and they were on the wrong arms. F#$&!!
Just re-adjust the belt a few times to get it back to the middle. My experience has been that sometimes it takes a few re-alignments for the belt to finally stay in the middle.
From what I remember that one was lubricated out of the box. Always check though. You can lift the edge of the belt when it’s unplugged to see if there is any oil between the belt and base. I hope that helps?
I always try to find installation videos before any install just to verify - this video was phenomenal. Thank you. Any tips on how often to lubricate and best way to lubricate?
Thanks for that feedback. It depends on how often you use it but I would lubricate every six months if used on almost every day. You should be able to lift up the sides of the belt on both sides and lubricate there.
Huaraches Verdes Thanks for sharing that feedback! Glad to know my video helped. That’s right, get that heart pumpin’, put that treadmill to work. All the best to you and yours 🙂✌️❤️
I think it would be a good idea to mention how to disassemble for the purpose of moving the treadmill through a door that is too narrow. Could you partially disassemble the bottom braces to separate the vertical and horizontal pieces? Thanks .....
MrJazzohjazz Perhaps on my next assembly. Unfortunately I can only make new videos when I go out to assemble a treadmill for a client. I appreciate you watching.

Thank you for this very informative and helpful video! You clearly and thoroughly covered all the steps required to assemble the treadmill.
James Hurley You’re very welcome. Glad this video helped you out. Have a good weekend and stay tuned for my upcoming videos 🙂✌️❤️
Terrific video - helped me assemble my F85 in about an hour. Well done and thank you!
You’re welcome. Glad it helped. Enjoy your new treadmill.
Can you move it around after you assemble it?
Yes. It can be rolled around.
Thanks, helped a lot. We used it a few times. Couple things I noticed. There's been a shhhh sound from belt from beginning. I thought this was normal, but I felt under the belt and it feels totally dry. I thought these were supposed to be pre-lubed. Also yesterday after jogging on it, I put the incline to 15 and slowed the treadmill down. But the treadmill kept going at a speed faster than it should. I kept slowing it down, even to .5 and it was still fast. Any help would be appreciated.
Are there any wheels on this for easy transport to different rooms? My last treadmill had them and they were highly useful, I don’t think I want a treadmill without them.
Thank you so much for this. I am a tad "mechanically challenged" and am getting this exact treadmill. I am more of a "visual" person versus reading a thick manual. So your video was AWESOME and very much appreciated by me. Keep up the great work!
Excellent tutorial on assembly of the Sole f80. I just put mine together today. Your instructions were on point, precise and accurate. Thank you for the awesome video!
Thank you 🙏🏻 ! And great idea to show the instructions as you did the steps. It added confidence in my assembly.
I have an E3 error on the incline and it doesn’t work. I just bought this. How do i fix it? Appreciate your advice, thanks.
This is the only solution from my understanding. Unless you know how to replace the sensor yourself if they send a new one your way. I hope this helps somehow?
E3 is a sensor issue.
You will need a technician to come out to your house to fix the issue.
@@MasteringMayhem Noted, thanks
Fixed it. The incline motor had the 3 wiring placed wrong (red-power, white and black for earthing) from the factory installation. This was unbelievable from Sole’s factory assembly electrician’s end but i’m glad i was able to fix it. The motor had a failsafe which kept shutting it off because of the wrong wirings and displayed E3 as that error!
@@Ali_ReBORN very nice! Glad you were able to find the problem and fix it. Thanks for sharing as well. Enjoy that treadmill 🙂✌️❤️
@@MasteringMayhem thanks brother!
I couldn’t have done it without your video! Thank you.
You’re very welcome. Glad my video helped. 🙂
We missed up when pulling it out of the box and took the strap off. Is there a way to release the folding mechanism? We can not put it together like it is😭
Did you figure it out?
Great video buddy - nice to see someone who understands instruction / teaching video - very easy to follow
Barry Purrington I’m really glad that this video was helpful. That was my goal, I appreciate the feedback.
life saver!!!!, thanks for the video it got me through assembling my treadmill. for some reason I found the covers to be a pain in the ass to put that tiny screw in and tight
You’re welcome! Glad I could help. I struggled with those covers too...I just cut that portion out of the video 😁✅. Enjoy that treadmill, it’s an awesome one.
Very helpful, thank you!
Great video ! Just got finished assembling an F80, glanced at the directions twice but had the video running step by step. Getting the sucker on the bottom level with just my wife and I was tough. Took some creative work. With everything out of the box, the bed/main part must still be 200 pounds. Thanks !
You’re welcome. That is a heavy piece of equipment. That’s great teamwork getting it where you need it. I hope you and yours are well.
Great video, thank you so much for making videos!
Did you Unbox it and then take it upstairs or did u leave it in the box?
I took it upstairs in the box with the help of the customer. If you like power tools and tech, enter my ongoing GIVEAWAY if you haven't already.
Great video! Customer has never worn a heart rate monitor - LOL
Goodness, gracious you sir is a lifesaver, wonderful video, and explanation. Truly appreciate you for saving my sanity lol
You're very welcome. You make me feel like a medical professional too...saving your sanity and all. Thanks for supporting the channel. Enter my huge power tool GIVEAWAY if you haven't already.
This is a great video! There is a step where many people seem to have a lot of problem with the assembly (some kind of plastic cover requiring the use of tiny screws). I don't follow what step it is. Could someone please indicate where it is in the video or clarify what step it is? Thank you.
Is it common to get busted hydrolics fresh out the packaging?
Hi there, great video. I'm a heavier person at 325 lbs, but I still consider myself semi-athletic and can still jog for extended periods and do sprint intervals. I've ran on many commercial gym treadmills in my time and have sometimes ran into a big problem - that occasionally, the belt would feel like it skips/sticks/stutters for just a brief instant. I'm unsure what's caused this; it could be that I step or stride in just a way with too much pressure or weight. It didn't ALWAYS happen on EVERY treadmill, but sometimes. I decided to purchase the F80 for my covid-started home-gym, and unfortunately I'm noticing it doing this same thing. It happens randomly, not too often, but maybe once every ~2-5 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less. The skip is extremely jarring and frustrating to deal with.
Ever hear of a problem like this before or have any insights about what could cause it or how to address it?
Thanks so much.
You'll need to tighten the belt until the skipping stops.
This video was very helpful in assembling the F80 with a friend. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Let me know how it turns out 🙂✌️❤️ Don’t forget to subscribe and comment on the power tool GIVEAWAY video if you want a chance to win some free tools. I hope you and yours are well.
Can I disassemble the bottom as it is very heavy and wont be able to carry it to my basement by myself, I do not have anyone available to help as I live in remote area in the woods
You can disassemble it but it’s not an easy task. I would hire someone to help you get it down the stairs if possible.
It was very helpful and THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re very welcome 🙂✌️❤️
Just ordered my F80 today. Is the impact wrench mandatory or more of a “nice to have” but not required for assembly?
It's more of a "nice to have" but not required for assembly tool. All the best with your new treadmill. Don't forget to enter my power tool GIVEAWAY if want to win some new power tools. I hope you and yours are well.
I ordered one and then cancelled when I read they have horrible customer service.
I hope the TT8 is similar? I get mine in about a week.
It should be pretty similar maybe a few different things with specific features, but that should be it. Thanks for watching, all the best with the TT8. If you like power tools and tech, enter my ongoing GIVEAWAY if you haven't already.
I'll receive my treadmill next week. This video is going to make it easier...🤞👍
is it possible to adjust the two small legs at the back of the unit? They look like the legs at the bottom of a stove to adjust it for level
Awesome video precise work keep on doing the good work
This made putting the treadmill together AMAZINGLY easy!! Thank you! What I can't figure out is the Bluetooth speaker setup. I've downloaded the Sole App, but I thought you'd be able to connect to the Bluetooth and get my Apple Music through those speakers. Anyone having the same issue? Suggestions?
Thanks! Very helpful,complete and well done.

Nice editing!
WOW...this is the best how to video I have ever watched...extremely well done!!!
Thank you so much for the feedback. Let’s me know that my work is helping you all out there. We hope you and yours are well 🙂✌️❤️
speed clips???? not sure if thread or other side of speed clip go outward or inward. hard to tell which way he placed it in.
@@williambuyarski2070 speed clip needs to have the little “outward bump” facing the inside of the frame tube. Hope that helps?
I will be building one tomorrow for my aunt and uncle! Hopefully this goes smoothly cause looking over the video like 3x makes it looks so easy😂
pro trick : watch series on kaldrostream. Been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
@Raul Zeke definitely, been watching on KaldroStream for since november myself :D
@Raul Zeke yup, I have been using KaldroStream for months myself :D
video very helpful thanks
Was wondering if you have any suggestions for taking the treadmill apart. We have already removed the computer panel and any small items attached to the two support arms. The plastic covers are all loose. We cannot remove the arms. We can get both to move an inch or so upward and that's it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Wanda Lemaster-Dotson Those arms have a total of four bolts for each arm at the bottom where they attach to the base of the treadmill. Are you unable to lift up the plastic covers to the arms? There are two small screws to take out in order to be able to slide the plastic covers up to reveal the four bolts that hold the two arms upright.
Hi, we bought a solef80 treadmill, and we are struggling to attach the left upright tube into the frame base. The right one (with the wire) went in fine, but the left one won't fit. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
I’m sorry for such a late response. Sometimes you do have to put a little force on the bars to get the hole to line up. The only way I don’t see it not working is the left upright is actually bent. Let me know if you figured it out or not.
That’s exactly what the sole technician said too and requested for pics. Unfortunately, the hole in the frame base was misaligned and we had to return it. Thank you for replying!
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate. I have one question, does the belt come lubricated out of the box? Or do I need to add lubricant? Because I checked under the belt and I don’t really see oil. Thanks!
Usually treadmills that aren’t oiled will have a lubrication bottle in the packaging, if there’s no oil bottle in the packaging it should be pre-oiled. I hope that helps?
How do you add lubricant?
@@christiangarcia9021 You lift up the belt on the outside edges and then you squeeze the lubricant out at a consistent rate while moving the bottle in an "s" motion about half the length of the belt from the middle front of the belt to the middle back or about 15inches of lubricant on both the left and right side.
Well I had to comment. Your video is great. You seem like a sound dude and you made it all easy to follow, and useful tips at the end as well. Respect to you Sir, much appreciated. I have an f85 to do tomorrow in my garage, and feel like I can get it going after watching this. Well done mate. And... thanks!
You’re very welcome. I appreciate the support and I’m glad to have helped 🙂. Good to know my videos are doing what I intended them to do. All the best with the assembly and I hope you and yours are well.
This was such a helpful video. It would have taken twice as long, if not more, if I just used the instructions alone. You gave some great tips (tools, head lamp, etc... I actually enjoyed putting together the treadmill with you assistance. Great job!
That’s really great to read. Thanks for letting me know how much it helped you with the assembly. It motivates me to keep making helpful videos. I hope you and yours are well. Don’t forget to enter our power tool GIVEAWAY if you like tools. 🙂✌️❤️
they should just make you the official video assembly trainer. great video
Just set up my F85 speakers are making static noise ...speakers are set to off also ...Whats the issue? Its a whiny noise
I don’t have the covers for under the handle bars. Are those necessary?
They are not necessary, those are mor for aesthetics but also to keep people from getting scratched when bumping into the uncovered base and hardware of the machine.
Does it come lubricated from the factory?
You loved my comment but never answered my question? Also, you should be making a clear point that those plastic coverings (that slide up and attach to the the console) are strictly Left/RIght. I put those on and had the whole machine together, and went to slide those up, and they were on the wrong arms. F#$&!!
What if the belt is on an angle as well as shifting to one side? I believe I stopped the movement but I guess it needs to be aligned? Mine is new
Just re-adjust the belt a few times to get it back to the middle. My experience has been that sometimes it takes a few re-alignments for the belt to finally stay in the middle.
Does this treadmill have to be used on a hard surface like a cement basement floor? Can you use it and run on it in a second floor extra bedroom?
You can use it in a bedroom on carpet. As long as the carpet is not so plush that the threads get into moving parts of the machine.
@@MasteringMayhem Thanks for the reply. Is it too heavy to put on the second floor of a home?
@@davebreuer5221 it’s not too heavy to put on a second floor, but to get it up to the second floor you need at least two people.
Did you lubricate it before using?
From what I remember that one was lubricated out of the box. Always check though. You can lift the edge of the belt when it’s unplugged to see if there is any oil between the belt and base. I hope that helps?
Mine seemed pretty dry. So I lubricated mine.
I always try to find installation videos before any install just to verify - this video was phenomenal. Thank you. Any tips on how often to lubricate and best way to lubricate?
Thanks for that feedback.
It depends on how often you use it but I would lubricate every six months if used on almost every day.
You should be able to lift up the sides of the belt on both sides and lubricate there.
Very helpful, put it together today! Thank you!
Zachary Clouse Awesome! Glad to help. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support.
Enjoy your new treadmill. 🙂✌️❤️
Awesome video!!! Thanks for the tips and instructions just finished putting mine together. I’m about to fire it up and get this heart pumping.
Huaraches Verdes Thanks for sharing that feedback! Glad to know my video helped. That’s right, get that heart pumpin’, put that treadmill to work. All the best to you and yours 🙂✌️❤️
I think it would be a good idea to mention how to disassemble for the purpose of moving the treadmill through a door that is too narrow. Could you partially disassemble the bottom braces to separate the vertical and horizontal pieces? Thanks .....
MrJazzohjazz Perhaps on my next assembly. Unfortunately I can only make new videos when I go out to assemble a treadmill for a client.
I appreciate you watching.
