Got a Sole elliptical machine? Is
it displaying a NEED LUBE error message when you turn it on? Tyler at Sole
service told me this is a software bug. It appears every 180 miles of usage, and
it was really only intended for treadmills, not ellipticals.
You can clean and lubricate the rails and wheels – and you should – but the
error message won’t go away. Instead, you can get rid of it by resetting the
odometer. First, press and hold the Start, Enter, and Stop buttons for five
seconds to enter engineering mode. Use the arrow keys to select FUNCTIONS,
then select ODO RESET and press Enter. Turn the machine off and on again, and
voila, no error message.
Thanks Tyler! Happy exercising!
love u !!! you’ve made my day
big thanks

Big thanks
Big thanks from another fan!
Thanks men, really appreciated.
Sweet! It worked.
Thank you,
I wasn’t able to get the arrow keys to get to functions but holding down stop and start for 10 secs reset the machine. Thanks so much!
Cheers! 😉
This didn’t work for me, I tried several times. It goes into engineering mode and then asks me to press all the keys still says needs lube.

Thanks for your help.
Awesome, thanks for sharing this post! Worked exactly as stated.
What do you do if your arrows don’t work? I can get to engineering mode but because nothing happens when I push the arrow keys, that’s as far as I get. Do you have any solutions for this?
Great! Worked perfectly! Thanks
My arrows didn’t work on the first screen initially either. All I did was hit enter on the first screen and then I could use my arrows to scroll to get the functions. Hope that helps
What is the best kind of lube to use?
My E55 won’t read from any chest straps anymore. Only the hand grips work for HR determination? Is there some trick to get this working?
Con ninguna combinación de teclas me ingresa al modo de ingeniería, existe otra opción a parte de las anterior nombradas
Anyone know how to switch to metric my e95 is showing miles
Thanks
Another thanks for your post.
Ann, to switch to metric, again go to the Functions screen and scroll (arrows keys) past ODO Reset to the Units screen. Choose between English and Metric there. Then turn the elliptical off and then on again.
