clicking sound from belt: Does anyone know where to download the user manual so I can troubleshoot?

Hi Hazel -- I wonder if you ever resolved this problem. I have been using this treadmill for a few months now and loving it but today it started making a clunking sound when belt running. I found the user manual online but there is no mention of the problem. You call it 'clicking' I call it 'clunking' but I think we could both be having the same problem, so am wondering if you ever resolved this. Any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

Adding my situation, had the dreaded squeaking on the left pedal, confirmed it was the rubber wheel against the rail bar. Tried all the solutions, loosening the arm nut, lubrication, but nothing worked. The noise got worse, and now the right side is making noises too. Drives me furious and kills my mood during exercise.

you might want to try spraying the bolts/screws around the foot pad (where your feet goes on the pedals) with WD 40 ...to stop the squeaks and clicks...that might/should help? where ever you hear sounds coming from...I would spray that area with WD 40...if that dont work there is a phone number of the company that makes the gazelle 1-800-519-8061 they 'might' be able to tell you what the problem might be...

Mine makes a clicking noise too. I wouldn't mind, but the clicking noise is quite loud compared to the machine running on the "Low" setting. I haven't tried this yet, but maybe it only clicks in "Auto" mode? I didn't notice it for the first few days when I had it running on High all the time.

We've used ours about the same and no unusual noise. Squealing sounds like a belt problem like a fan belt on a car.

I haven't. What kind of noise. Like a vibration or something? I replaced my cv's also though

My brand new one is extremely noisy as well. The sounds do not come from the belt passing along the treadmill or from my feet hitting the treadmill. There are loud rattles and squeaks that come from the area of the motor. Also, the entire treadmill deck bounces up and down a little when I run on it. So far, I am pretty unhappy with this expensive purchase.

It does make some clicking sound but it's not that noticeable to me. If it is loud enough for you and it is bothersome you should really try to get a replacement as it may be defective and will soon fail.

I hear the same sound - I would say its normal - just the sound of the plastic locking feature clicking which holds it open

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

Yes, there is a very light clicking sound. Not a loud one that you might here from something like the Power Tail Switch, but a gentle one. If complete quiet is important, you might want to look into the solid-state version of this relay.

Try winding it until it clicks only a few times like once or twice, if that doesn't work you can get a new one or take it apart and see if you can fix it

Found the problem with mine. Either the top of the motor or the belt were making occasional contact with the belt cap retainer. I greased the inside or the belt cap retainer and the noise is gone.

I have been recently having the same issue with the belt slipping off. It isn't breaking, just slipping off. Very frustrating being in the middle of vacuuming or almost done and having to stop, find a screwdriver, undo six stupid screws and then fighting and breaking nails and crunching fingers to put the belt back on only to have it slip off again next time. I replaced the belt with the replacement belt that came with it and it too, slipped off. I made sure to clean the bar and brushes off thoroughly, including any little strings or hair that has wrapped itself around and tried sliding the belt on as far to the inside as possible. I also empty the dirt chamber often and make sure not to set the vacuum too low. This seems to have helped. However, if it continues to happen, I am going to try to find some kind of tiny rubber washer or "o" ring to wedge against the belt on the metal rod. It's too bad--for an economical vacuum, I sure like it, but if this continues, I'm going to return it.

My fs200 absolutely has the whir and clicking noises. I have not found a solution at this point.

I figured out what the sound is, I think... There is a plastic ring inside the ring that screws on and on mine, the plastic ring is broken, thus the clicky sound because the inner shaft can't get tight.

Haven't noticed any clicking from mine, but then I'm not always in the particular room in which we use it. Is it like an electrical snapping sound, or more like a trickling water sound?
