how do I stop a squeak in the foot petal?

WD40 should do it. Just be careful not to get it on the pedal, would get to slippery.

Mine doesnt squeak! The springs provided with this swing are very high quality. My lack of squeak may be how it's hung -- I have heavy chain wrapped around an iron pipe, and the springs are hooked into this. Perhaps other methods of hanging will create more noise. I suggest trying it out and then evaluating your need for squeak suppression.

Squeeeze it straight out of the tube. It is very very sticky. Wear gloves when you apply it.

Yes there is a squeak at the latch contact point. If you use double face tape and small strips of plastic sheets the problem is solved.

Ours eventually came off but u could try acetone (by the nail polish remover at Walmart) & then be sure to wash their feet really good. I won't use these again, my dog hated them & I felt terrible!

Just trim around heel area with sharp knife or scissors. That is my problem as well.

yep. I've found that a tiny adjustment to the resistance will make the noise go away. I think it's just a result of something rubbing on something else, probably will get smoother as you break it in.

I wish I had a simple solution for you, but I can't seem to get mine to stay either. But I'm thinking I may go buy a cheap pair of shoes and gorilla glue the damn things to the pedals.

use med tape on your heel. then put on socks. That's what I do with new shoes until they break in a bit.

Not if assembled correctly. I found that if the screws are too tight it squeaks, if they're too loose same issue. Though I'm sure the manufacturer wouldn't approve I took out all but 3 screws from the base. I left in the front 2 and 1 on the right - this solved my squeaking issue.

I had the same problem. I ended up sticking those sponge like stickers that you can get from dollar markets. If you don't like the idea, you can put small fabrics inbetween it, it helps with the noise, but they will still end up moving around.

Get a can of air and spray it into the corners. Something as small as a piece of sand can jam the movement.

Mine squeaked when turning the crank, so to quiet it down, I rubbed some candle wax on the circular wood surface in contact with the bottom of the metal turn crank (the metal surface rubs on the wood surface when the crank is turned).

Squeaks really really bother me. I cannot have a machine that squeaks especially repetitively or rhythmically. Users please comment and also about returns for this reason. Thanks

The only squeak I ever hear is the rare noise from one of the metal bars that go across the bottom for support. Even then, it's rare and a muted sound. It's more like the bar "re-adjusts" with how it's slotted on the ends. By comparison to every other bed I've had with traditional frames, wooden headboards, etc. it doesn't make enough noise to cause concern. Even while doing the bone dance. Hope this helps!

Year and a half late to answer, but it might still help someone else...Mine squeaked. Took forever to find the cause. Was the connection on the center pole below/between the pedals, where the front and rear section connect. I sprayed the heck out of it with wd40 and tightened the crap out the 2 or 3 bolts that connect that area. Problem solved. SOUNDED like it was coming from the joints on the handles, but it was not. The torque from usage is what makes it squeak.

start on the top of the pedal and work it around. a little silicone may help.
