Each Bowflex

TreadClimber

treadle is a separate treadmill with its own belt, however both treadles are driven by the
same axle and motor. This assures that each belt travels at the same speed. Further, the treadles are interconnected, which
provides a balanced relationship between the left and right sides during the workout to give the most cushioned effect to your
joints.
Keep your foot in the center of each Treadle. Do not let your feet cross in front of your body as you increase the
speed.
Locking the Treadles for Treadmill Workout
The right and left treadles can be locked together to get a treadmill workout.
Do not change from or into treadmill mode while the belts are in movement or the machine is powered up. To
change the modes, stop the power. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet, line up the Treadles, and then lock or
release the Treadle Locking Lever.
The TreadClimber
®
machine is equipped with a treadle-locking lever that can be manipulated with your foot.
1. Turn off all power to the TreadClimber
®
machine and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Move the locking lever downward and to the left and then upward into the ‘locked’ position with your foot. Stand
on each treadle individually until they drop to the horizontal position. There will be a ‘click’ when they lock into
position.
3. Insert power cord into the wall outlet and turn on the Main Power Switch. Follow the Starting a Treadmill
Workout instructions for your model to work out in treadmill mode.
4. To release the treadles, turn off the Main Power switch and push the lever downward and to the right with your
foot. The treadles will return to inclined position.
Note: You will not need to manually change the Workout Level Settings on the Hydraulic Cylinders for a treadmill
workout.
