Squeking ??

[l7ttledevil]

Hey guys

I've had my powerisers since the 10th of august (my birthday:) ) and they've been squeking pretty much as soon as i started using them, it hasnt got any worse but has just been a constant annoyance.

So first question is is this normal? and if not what causes it?

Second question is how the hell do i stop it squeking?!?!?!? its so very annoying lol I left it at first incase it was just because they were new and needed wearing in but i think that time frame has passed now.

I also havent done anything to fix it yet because i wasnt sure if lubricant would melt anything or have any other adverse affects on any parts?

Please help.

Ben mine did the same too.. Got mine on the 3rd Aug (my birthday!!)

Squeak is common but goes with a little spray of WD40.

Not heard a squeak since..

Hope that helps..

ok sounds good, no ill affects to the rubber or tubing etc?

Which bit did u diagnose as the squek tho? cos i'm not entirely sure what part to try and spray.

The joint is where my squeak was. The bit that looks like the knee joint, back to front. If that makes sense...

Hi chaps
   
Mine had a bit of a squeak for a while but it went after a few days.

I got mine about 18th July. Early Christmas present she said (lol).
 I've already told Santa i want a jetski for christmas.

mine squeked for only 3 days mabey tis just how well there made or something but shrly enough mine does sometimes comes back to haunt me by that SQUEAK but ah never mind im not bovered

All about the WD40 baby!! Spray everywhere theres movement is the simple answer.

Ideally, have a mate to hand. You have a walk, they spray, you have a little walk again and try to locate where the squeek or "honking" is coming from - repeat as necessary. We do this before setting out on each occaision.

before we go any further shall we all juss raise a glass to  WD-40 lol

I found that if you use the WD40 then it is best to spray some on then bounce the stilt you have just sprayed a little to let it move and allow the WD40 to get into the joint properly. But then, hey presto, silent as they can be.

For a while anyway. I find I have to spray them every few sessions. Then again I never seem to go out on mine for less then 4-5 hours at a time.

Note the guy asked in September 2006. I'm sure he's got it sorted by now

mine havent started sqweeking... is this normal and does it come after a bit of useing or am i just lucky?

[Jason]

Mine did'nt squeek for a good 2 days but once you start bouncing they will

I found that the noise did'nt seem to come from the actual joints but from the white plastic packers so try spraying them (do front and back) with either wd40 or I prefer silicon grease it seems to last longer

[x_Rave_Dave_x]

alright also people been moaning about the white t's comnig out mine seem to be very secure...

[Jason]

So did mine until they fell out keep an eye on them or you lose them when they drop out

If you lose them try this
