This is so much more helpful than the half arsed attempt at an instruction manual that came with the unit. I could not work out where I'm actually supposed to put the oil until I saw your video. Thank you.
Angus you made my day with that comment!! This is the exact reason that I started my channel. To help people what I call, do stuff and things. A lot of my videos including this one were inspired by half ass written manuals, poor customer support for a good product. I appreciate the feedback. Checkout my other videos from my playlist. Thanks for watching
Heather, thank-you so much, that means a lot to me. My channel is not making me any $$. I started this channel because the issues that I tackle are things that other people may struggle with. To hear that I have helped someone really makes my day. I appreciate the feedback.
The maintenance instructions are useless. It's like they just translated from another language with Google Translate. I can't make heads or tails of them. If it wasn't for this video I'd still be trying to work out exactly where to put the lubricant.
This helped out so much. Thank you! I didn't realize I had 1 side tighter than the other and actually wore down one side of the tread. This video saved my treadmill!
Thanks for watching, I love to hear that my video helped someone do stuff and things. You should be proud of yourself that you sucesfully performed a dificult task. That is not easy but you rocked it like a champ!
Thanks for watching, yes they should. I also think that was why I was treated very well when I had to deal with them. This is the reason that I created this channel, because of subpar customer service and or instructions. It is made to make things easier for you and help you do stuff and things! :)
Hearing this really makes my day! Thank-you for watching. I am glad I am able to help. Getting feedback like yours is the only way I know if people are watching and what they think. You made my day.
It worked, thanks for the video! The adjustment of the belt can be a little finicky and in my case I noticed that even if it looked like the belt was moving to the right when the treadmill was on by itself, when I would start walking on it the belt would balance out and stay center 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, you are absolutely right. This was one of the reasons that I said, make sure you have plenty of time to adjust the belt. I got mine out of alignment and it took a while to get it back to working order. What I would do is take the screws all the way out or all the way in and turn both screws equal amount of turns, if it starts going sideways stop it quickly to avoid damage to the belt and try again.
Thank-you for watching! Even more, thank-you for your message. I put the stuff out there but, the only way I know if it helped is feedback which I greatly appreciate.
my treadmill is making a loud rubbing sound, sometimes the belt feels wobbly like it is catching... the belt looks centered, it's lubricated in fact, I did a lot more lubricating, running it a bit then adding more silicone to make sure the entire surface was lubed, too much? how do you tell if the belt needs to be tightened? it's two years old now, I only walk on it, not run, probably used four, five days a week... 40 mins to 2 hours...I'm concerned, a friend with the same model told me she tightened the belt and now is having problems with it. So, I didn't want to just tighten it to test that. No one in my area services treadmills... great video! I've been feeding the skinny tube under the treadmill to lube it, it's tricky. And, glad to see you purchased the same product, I couldn't find the lubricant shipped with the treadmill, the new one seemed a bit thinner. Nice to see it will work. My on/off switch burned out, fortunately, "on" so I have it plugged into a power strip. It's an ok product for the price.
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 am happy that you are happy with their product. I did a lot of research before buying mine and offer my honest opinion, no sponsorship or affiliation with the company. I am glad that we share the same opinion. Thanks for watching my channel.
i agree with the comments below; this super-helpful and shameful that the equipment doesn't come with these instructions. do you know how to turn the sound off? i use this at work and don't want the beeping going off every time i turn it on and off.
Comments like yours make my day and it makes these videos worth doing! I appriciate you watching and taking the time to comment. The only way I know how is to open the treadmil (see my videos) and disconnect the speaker.
I usually buy the treadmill oil from Amazon. I try to find the bottle thst has the house/straw with it. I also put just a tad on the front roller with the front of...or give that a little shot of wd..being careful not to spray the electronics. When I do that part I have it removed from the outlet.
Thank you so much for this great video! I was considering purchasing this unit...but I do wish it just had a port you put the lubrication in rather than squeezing it on the treadmill yourself. How much oil do you have to put on? The whole bottle? Half a bottle? A couple of squeezes? This video's a year old. How is the treadmill holding up? Is it still working ok?
For that feature I am sure the price would go up. I definitely agree with you . When I first got it I loosened the belt and coated the underpad with zig zag lines. I did not want to make it too lubed just where the belt would slide nicely. I did this again at 6 months. Sometime I just put a little on the underside of the belt. I bought one of the treadmill lube bottles with a little hose and just a little will do. getting the belt tightened right is probably the hardest challenge. My treadmills, both are holding up very well. I have months that I use them a lot and some months I hardly use them at all. If I was a professional I would have bought a professional version but where would I put it to store it. This one if needs to be slides under my bed. I hope that helped, thanks for watching, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
No one can see what you are doing because of the camera angle. Any chance of redoing this with the camera mounted somewhere so the video shows what you are doing???
Unfortunately I am one person and so far I do not get any monetary funds from my channel. I do this on my own time with the equipment that I own. I have done several videos on lubrication. I hope one shows what you are looking for. You can always ask as I try to respond to my comments. I do not have a camera person which would help a lot. I have to prep things and hold the camera in one hand and do the task with the other. Right now I can't justify putting money into something that I am doing as a service for free. Maybe at a later time I may find a better solution or if you are interested in donating equipment or funds.
Thanks for watching. After you loosen the belt, there is the pad that the belt makes contact with (it is made for it). This is the part I lubricate. As your machine gets past the first year it requires a little less lubrication. Unlike a treadmill at the gym, you should listen for any type of rubbing. The lube that I use has a little hose and I make a zig zag lines on the plate that I mentioned. You want to put just enough but not too much. If you feel or hear rubbings , it is time to check and possibly re lube. The area is on 5:51. I also have a few more videos on my play list about this treadmill in my playlist in the Treadmill Costway 2 in 1 Superfit section. I hope that helps let me know if I can help with anything else.
My belt keeps shifting. I followed your video. I sent it to the best of my ability and then I tighten it up right to where it starts to get too tight on both sides. I hop on it, and then the top of the belt where the roller is at it starts to move where it’s showing a little bit of one side more than the other where the roller is at. Is that belt going to be shifting like that regardless of what you do?
The adjustment is the hardest part of the procedure. I set some time because I may not always get it right. Some key points are to make sure the bolts are even and try to turn them at the same time or at least the same interval, half turn left then half turn right screw. When I feel that it is where I want it I turn it on slow and see if it stays. You also can't go too tight this could damage the belt. I run it slow and itf it moves I stop adjust and try again.
I haven't used my treadmill for a while. How do you know when the belt needs to be oiled? I oiled it once when I received (I think as instructed in the manual) by lifting the belt and oiling in a zig zag pattern underneath (as suggested in another video). I think the idea of actually loosening the belt quite a bit to move it so it's evenly situated between the sides and to make room to oil under the belt was a good idea. Until now, I had been using the alan key to move the belt by degrees (one turn forward, one turn back, two turns,..). Your approach, to loosen it a lot then realign, seems much more logical. Thanks Rudolf, I'll try your suggestions.
Thank-you for watching. yah you have to be pretty precise when you tighten the belt, you will know if you are off sides because the belt will slide to one side and tuning it requires patience. The idea is to get the oil on not just the sides but, this task is not easy. I oil mine every 3 to 6 months. I also pay attention how much I am using the treadmill and keep an ear out for any weird noise or squeaks. I am glad I could help. thanks for the feedback.
UPDATE: This solution is for the issue of the conveyor belt being stuck with code error E05. The treadmill turns on, the fuze is good, the motor is trying to go but the belt is not moving and producing a burning smell. In my case, the issue was the motor out of alignment and it could not spin the little side belt that’s connected to the main conveyor belt. When you take the top cover off, you can see if the motor is aligned parallel to the nearby components. If not, there are 2 bolts behind and under the motor that you can adjust it with and release any tension. Just make sure the bolts are tight again once you align the motor. My treadmill started spinning again once I aligned the motor. It did sound different than before though, perhaps some damage was already done when it got stuck, but so far the treadmill been running without any other issues. Good luck.
I love it! Alignment is a big issue with this. I never had an issue with the small belt but yes you are right and that is exactly how to align it. While you are there you need to make sure the big treadmill belt is also aligned and not rubbing. I have two treadmills like this and I had that same burning smell. The motor may have been damaged or the heat from the motor might heat up the dust on the motor causing that smell. I am very happy that you got it to work. I usually respond to my comments within reasonable time but like everyone else I too get busy. I am glad it is working for you.
You could try reaching out to the manufacturer. I was looking around and found things that could work as a good replacement in etsy and ebay. The black or the red mounts might be worth a try. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching!!! you made my day. I actually stole that line "rock or something" from the instructions on the ARMY Meals Ready to eat (MRE). In the package with the meal is a chemical heater and so that the person does not try to hold the boiling hot heater in their hand, the instructions states "Place on rock or something" :)
This video was SO helpful. I think my belt came a little loose and needs to be tighten. When walking on it it’s not smooth and a lil slippery. Is this the method for tightening it too?
You can call it tightening as well as tuning it. A loose belt can be very dangerous. Take your time to tune it and do it only if you feel that you can safely do it. It takes time. The hardest part is to get it straight so, it does not got to one side or the other.
Are you wearing the safety strap? What this code usually means is that the safety strap is not there or not properly seated. remove and reattach to the square. Let me know if that works.
Have you had to adjust the folding riser (handle)? It is not staying in a fixed position, goes back and forward. It is supposed to be tightened while the riser is in a closed position, or in the open position, what position is the folding handle supposed to be in to do this?
That riser assembly has never felt super solid. The "hand break" needs to be pulled out toward you , then lift the bar to the desired angle and push back down.
This is my EXACT treadmill. It started smoking really badly and stopped working. I added oil and it still won't come on. I wonder if it's completely gone now or needs more oil.
It's hard to tell. I do have a few ideas. Checkout my play list. I have a video on deep maintinance. You could have blown the fuse. The smoking part makes me nervous. Also could be that it burned up the motor. I'd look at the fuse and then try to contact the manufacturer. ruclips.net/video/pZFdUSZBmxc/видео.html
My handle that rises and lowers falls complete and no longer stays upright. How can I fix this? I’m happy to send you a picture of the screw that came out from the side you show that you tighten the bolt, I can’t figure out how it was before it was just there lose behind the plastic cover
You can defiantly test it out. The lubrication depends if the manufacturer put any loobe on it when they shipped it. If you get grinding rubbing noises or it just feels rough it needs to be lubricated. However, note that the lubrication should be planned with time to make adjustments and to see if this is something you want to do yourself.
The good thing about the lubricant, the recommended treadmill lubricant is that it is clear. I am here in Florida and my house does not have any carpet. The advantage of having it on a carpet is that it does dampen the noise. The disadvantage is that it also blocks a lot of the heat from venting out of the unit and it could pick up lint from the carpet as well as deposit the dirt from the treadmill into the carpet. If you are concerned about it being on the carpet you can purchase a hard rubber mat or even a yoga mat underneath it but make sure it does not slide. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Kasey, thanks! That makes me happy, trust me it took quite a bit to tune it and once I figured it out I thought that someone else may have the same issue. Thanks for watching
When I try to tighten the "bolts" at the end to tighten the belt. There are no bolts. The cylinder that the belt goes around is just sitting in the housing. It looks like a it not attached to anything
2 questions. Are you supposed to only do the zigzag lines near each side of the treadmill and not any in the center? You didn’t show putting any lines in the center. My second question is what you do after you turn the treadmill back on? Do you let it just run for a few minutes without getting on it? If so, at what speed?
Great questions Logan. I would not so much concentrate on the pattern. You want to give it a light lube. Too much will make it slip for the motor. There is no need to saturate it. As far as the center, I can say if you can safely and comfortably loosen the belt where you can reach that area perfect. Give your self time to work on this. I have had it where I have spent more than an hour tuning it because I failed to allign it and the belt slid to one side. Best advice, some lube is better than no lube at all! Your second question, I would let it run for a little bit not only to distribute the lube but, to also see if you have it straight and be ready to hit the stop if the belt slides to one side or the other. If everything is running ok, then get on it and at a slow speed check to see if the belt is slipping. It is a balance between too loose and too tight belt. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching. Have you lubricated the treadmill ever? You can check out some of my other videos on heavy maintinance and lubrication. I agree that 120lb should not make it squeek but, it really varies how lubricated it left the factory. If you need more help, let me know. Here is to great fitness.
It looks like you did the hard part now you have to follow the rest of the procedure, take your time and don't rush but, you will now have to align and tighten the belt. You want to tighten the two screws eavenly to keep the belt from shifing to one side. Then you can test it to make sure it does not slip
Loosen the belt only so much where you can lift a part of it, just enough to put a little oil under the belt. Take your time to tune it and turn both screws the same to keep the belt centered.
Here is another video ruclips.net/video/DcjZGXPMq4c/видео.html The alignment is one of the most challanging things in maintaining this treadmil. You have to back out the screws and put them in with an even amount of turns. Even if it is off just a little bit, it will slide to the side that is lower then the other, they have to be equal. I hope this helps, I am here to help, please let me know if you have more questions.
I and the manual recommends that you draw a little zig zag lines like I shown. If you are not comfortable to loosen the belt that much then just a little squart. I would say less is more, you don't want the belt to start slipping but you don't want it to grind either.
kind of crappy that you need the remote to even use it but they didn't supply one..the reason I got this is because I work in IT and sit at my desk all day so I luckily had a pack of these sitting around
That is a great question. I apply a thin pattern light coat of lubricant. From the months that o have owned two of these I am starting to feel and hear it running squeeking or rubbing. The bottles they provide are small and I do get mine from Amazon. The initial lubrication needs to be better since I don't think they lube them at all out of the box.
Hey, sorry it has been a little busy for me at work. Because the treadmill uses quite a bit of power, I don't cheap out on the extension cord. I bought a 15Amp cord and kept the Leith to a minimum. I want to be able to turn my treadmill 180 degrees. You defiantly want a think cord.
What are your stats? I am 6'2" and 230lbs so wanted to know if you have a similar build to me. Also, how do you like the length of the belt? is it long enough?
Personal question,lol. When I was looking at these I wanted a collapsible one. I was also looking at the weight. It is not a full size treadmill but for me 6ft 240lb it works perfectly fine.
As far as resetting, the only reset I know is unplugging it for a period of time. I am not sure on the limit of 4.0. The 3.0 limit is there for the railing, if the railing is up it can go faster, if the railing is down it will top out at 3.0
This looks like an error between the motor and the sensor. I would check the connections on everything if you are comfortable to do so. Especially between the motor and the sensor. Did this work before? Did it stop working while you were on it? One day would not come on?
I would hope that when the product was shipped to you, they put some lube on it. The I would do it soon, to ensure a longer life of the motor. If it is not lubed, you will hear it, and the motor has to work harder and when this goes on for a while, that friction will shorten the life of the motor. The lubrication is something that does take time to do right.

UPDATE: This solution is for the issue of the conveyor belt being stuck with code error E05. The treadmill turns on, the fuze is good, the motor is trying to go but the belt is not moving and producing a burning smell.
In my case, the issue was the motor out of alignment and it could not spin the little side belt that’s connected to the main conveyor belt. When you take the top cover off, you can see if the motor is aligned parallel to the nearby components. If not, there are 2 bolts behind and under the motor that you can adjust it with and release any tension. Just make sure the bolts are tight again once you align the motor.
My treadmill started spinning again once I aligned the motor. It did sound different than before though, perhaps some damage was already done when it got stuck, but so far the treadmill been running without any other issues. Good luck.
I love it! Alignment is a big issue with this. I never had an issue with the small belt but yes you are right and that is exactly how to align it. While you are there you need to make sure the big treadmill belt is also aligned and not rubbing. I have two treadmills like this and I had that same burning smell. The motor may have been damaged or the heat from the motor might heat up the dust on the motor causing that smell. I am very happy that you got it to work. I usually respond to my comments within reasonable time but like everyone else I too get busy. I am glad it is working for you.
@@Rudyworld 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Mine didn’t come with the wrench. Do you know what size it is? I’ve tried at least 6 already 😢
I would contact the manufacturer or place of purchase what you paid for should be in the box.
TY..just what was needed.
Thanks for watching I am glad I could help
do you know where I can but the phone holder piece that comes with it? I bought a used unit and it didn't have it
You could try reaching out to the manufacturer. I was looking around and found things that could work as a good replacement in etsy and ebay. The black or the red mounts might be worth a try. Thanks for watching.
Rock or something!! Love it!
Thanks for watching!!! you made my day. I actually stole that line "rock or something" from the instructions on the ARMY Meals Ready to eat (MRE). In the package with the meal is a chemical heater and so that the person does not try to hold the boiling hot heater in their hand, the instructions states "Place on rock or something" :)
This video was SO helpful. I think my belt came a little loose and needs to be tighten. When walking on it it’s not smooth and a lil slippery. Is this the method for tightening it too?
You can call it tightening as well as tuning it. A loose belt can be very dangerous. Take your time to tune it and do it only if you feel that you can safely do it. It takes time. The hardest part is to get it straight so, it does not got to one side or the other.
Any idea how to fix the E07 error message while using the treadmill (SP37522) in walking mode; riser in folded position?
Are you wearing the safety strap? What this code usually means is that the safety strap is not there or not properly seated. remove and reattach to the square. Let me know if that works.
Have you had to adjust the folding riser (handle)? It is not staying in a fixed position, goes back and forward. It is supposed to be tightened while the riser is in a closed position, or in the open position, what position is the folding handle supposed to be in to do this?
That riser assembly has never felt super solid. The "hand break" needs to be pulled out toward you , then lift the bar to the desired angle and push back down.
Does anyone know what the code U05 is on the Super Fit treadmill?
Is that E05? If that is it, it is computer to motor communication. Check fuse and make sure everything is connected.
I wish I would have seen your video first! I followed someone else instructions on RUclips and now the power switch is damaged
Thanks I appriciate that new video on changing power switch coming soon.
@Rudyworld thank you
This is my EXACT treadmill. It started smoking really badly and stopped working. I added oil and it still won't come on. I wonder if it's completely gone now or needs more oil.
It's hard to tell. I do have a few ideas. Checkout my play list. I have a video on deep maintinance. You could have blown the fuse. The smoking part makes me nervous. Also could be that it burned up the motor. I'd look at the fuse and then try to contact the manufacturer. ruclips.net/video/pZFdUSZBmxc/видео.html
My handle that rises and lowers falls complete and no longer stays upright. How can I fix this? I’m happy to send you a picture of the screw that came out from the side you show that you tighten the bolt, I can’t figure out how it was before it was just there lose behind the plastic cover
I'd like to see. Usually the nit on the other side under the cap.
This was great. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. It makes my day when someone can get their "stuff and things done".
Should I do some maintinance for the first time unboxing? Or can I use it right away?
You can defiantly test it out. The lubrication depends if the manufacturer put any loobe on it when they shipped it. If you get grinding rubbing noises or it just feels rough it needs to be lubricated. However, note that the lubrication should be planned with time to make adjustments and to see if this is something you want to do yourself.
Does any of it drip out on the floor as I’m using it on a rug
The good thing about the lubricant, the recommended treadmill lubricant is that it is clear. I am here in Florida and my house does not have any carpet. The advantage of having it on a carpet is that it does dampen the noise. The disadvantage is that it also blocks a lot of the heat from venting out of the unit and it could pick up lint from the carpet as well as deposit the dirt from the treadmill into the carpet. If you are concerned about it being on the carpet you can purchase a hard rubber mat or even a yoga mat underneath it but make sure it does not slide. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for sharing!! Getting very frustrated with mine. The belt keeps shifting to one side
Kasey, thanks! That makes me happy, trust me it took quite a bit to tune it and once I figured it out I thought that someone else may have the same issue. Thanks for watching
Take your time to tune it. I did mine again tonight and it took me two tries to get it right.
When I try to tighten the "bolts" at the end to tighten the belt. There are no bolts. The cylinder that the belt goes around is just sitting in the housing. It looks like a it not attached to anything
2 questions. Are you supposed to only do the zigzag lines near each side of the treadmill and not any in the center? You didn’t show putting any lines in the center. My second question is what you do after you turn the treadmill back on? Do you let it just run for a few minutes without getting on it? If so, at what speed?
Great questions Logan. I would not so much concentrate on the pattern. You want to give it a light lube. Too much will make it slip for the motor. There is no need to saturate it. As far as the center, I can say if you can safely and comfortably loosen the belt where you can reach that area perfect. Give your self time to work on this. I have had it where I have spent more than an hour tuning it because I failed to allign it and the belt slid to one side.
Best advice, some lube is better than no lube at all!
Your second question, I would let it run for a little bit not only to distribute the lube but, to also see if you have it straight and be ready to hit the stop if the belt slides to one side or the other. If everything is running ok, then get on it and at a slow speed check to see if the belt is slipping. It is a balance between too loose and too tight belt. Thanks for watching.
I did everything you said to do and my treadmill is still squeaking. I weigh 120 lbs I don’t know why it keeps squeaking
Thanks for watching. Have you lubricated the treadmill ever? You can check out some of my other videos on heavy maintinance and lubrication. I agree that 120lb should not make it squeek but, it really varies how lubricated it left the factory. If you need more help, let me know. Here is to great fitness.
When I step on the treadmill it won’t move but when I get off it moves I already oiled it so can you please help
It looks like you did the hard part now you have to follow the rest of the procedure, take your time and don't rush but, you will now have to align and tighten the belt. You want to tighten the two screws eavenly to keep the belt from shifing to one side. Then you can test it to make sure it does not slip
How do you get the Bluetooth to work on this treadmill?
Great question, turn it on, go to connections, bluetooth, do a scan and it should connect upon selecting the device.
what happens if you can’t get it loose enough to oil the other side of the treadmill ??
Should I take the screw off entirely?^^
Loosen the belt only so much where you can lift a part of it, just enough to put a little oil under the belt. Take your time to tune it and turn both screws the same to keep the belt centered.
The belt goes to one side when I switch it back on ?? Why
Here is another video ruclips.net/video/DcjZGXPMq4c/видео.html The alignment is one of the most challanging things in maintaining this treadmil. You have to back out the screws and put them in with an even amount of turns. Even if it is off just a little bit, it will slide to the side that is lower then the other, they have to be equal. I hope this helps, I am here to help, please let me know if you have more questions.
How much lube do you use? Whole bottle?
I and the manual recommends that you draw a little zig zag lines like I shown. If you are not comfortable to loosen the belt that much then just a little squart. I would say less is more, you don't want the belt to start slipping but you don't want it to grind either.
@@Rudyworld OK, thank you
Does anyone know what battery goes into the remote? I want to make sure I put the correct ones in it. Please and thank you!
It is a 2032. This is also the same battery that is used in motherboards to hold memory. You can buy it on Amazon, Best Buy, even Lowes.
kind of crappy that you need the remote to even use it but they didn't supply one..the reason I got this is because I work in IT and sit at my desk all day so I luckily had a pack of these sitting around
I can't see how much lubricant you put under it. The directions say to not over lubricate it.
That is a great question. I apply a thin pattern light coat of lubricant. From the months that o have owned two of these I am starting to feel and hear it running squeeking or rubbing. The bottles they provide are small and I do get mine from Amazon. The initial lubrication needs to be better since I don't think they lube them at all out of the box.
Hello
I see you have a extended cord for your treadmill what type is it
Hey, sorry it has been a little busy for me at work. Because the treadmill uses quite a bit of power, I don't cheap out on the extension cord. I bought a 15Amp cord and kept the Leith to a minimum. I want to be able to turn my treadmill 180 degrees. You defiantly want a think cord.
What are your stats? I am 6'2" and 230lbs so wanted to know if you have a similar build to me.
Also, how do you like the length of the belt? is it long enough?
Personal question,lol. When I was looking at these I wanted a collapsible one. I was also looking at the weight. It is not a full size treadmill but for me 6ft 240lb it works perfectly fine.
Is what long enough? lol
How u can reset?..or why mine is only go to speed 4.0..tnx
As far as resetting, the only reset I know is unplugging it for a period of time. I am not sure on the limit of 4.0. The 3.0 limit is there for the railing, if the railing is up it can go faster, if the railing is down it will top out at 3.0
I have E05 error on my superfit..what do I need to do
This looks like an error between the motor and the sensor. I would check the connections on everything if you are comfortable to do so. Especially between the motor and the sensor. Did this work before? Did it stop working while you were on it? One day would not come on?
I have a new video for in depth maintinance studio.ruclips.net/user/video6EulFyHSKuU/edit
Do you have to lubricate it before first use?
I would hope that when the product was shipped to you, they put some lube on it. The I would do it soon, to ensure a longer life of the motor. If it is not lubed, you will hear it, and the motor has to work harder and when this goes on for a while, that friction will shorten the life of the motor. The lubrication is something that does take time to do right.
@@Rudyworld thank you.
