    Why are the wheels on my Bodyguard Elliptical Trainer squeaking or making loud noises?
    • K
      Kristine WallaceAug 20, 2025
      The wheels on your Bodyguard Elliptical Trainer might be squeaking or making loud noises due to debris or pits on the wheels because the aluminum rails are not clean. To resolve this: * Clean the wheels. * Add a small amount of lubricant to the aluminum rails using a clean cloth. * Rotate the wheels from one side to the other. This may help create a different wear line on the wheel and stop the noise. * If the noise continues, consider replacing the wheel.
