TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM
Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform
periodically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the
walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over and the walking belt
replaced (see page 30) after every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 kilometers). Follow the instructions
below to turn over the walking platform.
1. Remove the key and unplug
the power cord. Remove the
#8 x 3/4" Screws (16), Cover
Screws (2), and the Front Cover
(17). Remove the Front Roller
Adjustment Screw (19) and the
Front Roller Washer (14) from
each side of the Front Roller (13).
2. Remove the four Rear Walking
Platform Screws (10) and the two
Front Walking Platform Screws
(20). (Note: Be very careful to
avoid chipping or damaging the
phenolic coating on the Walking
Platform [23].) Lift the Front
Roller (13) and slide it out of the
Walking Belt (18). Lift the Walking
Platform and the Walking Belt to
the position shown by the dotted
lines. Slide the Walking Platform
out of the Walking Belt, turn it, and
then slide it back into the Walking
Belt.
3. Lay down the Walking Platform (23) and the Walking Belt (18). Slide the Front Roller (13) back into the
Walking Belt.
4. Reattach the Walking Platform Screws (10, 20). Thread the Front Roller Adjustment Screws (19) with the
Front Roller Washers (14) into the Front Roller (13). Reattach the Front Cover (17) with the #8 x 3/4" Screws
(16) and Cover Screws (2).
5. Next, the Walking Belt (18) will need to be adjusted to the
proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks on the Walking
Belt exactly 1.25 m (50 in.) apart, as shown in the drawing.
Tighten both Front Roller Adjustment Screws (19, see the
drawing above) until the two chalk marks move apart an ad-
ditional 5 to 6 mm (3/16 to 1/4 in.). As you tighten the Roller
Adjustment Screws, the Front Roller (13) will move. If the
Front Roller stops moving, do not further tighten the
Roller Adjustment Screws; please see the back cover of
this manual. Make sure to keep the Walking Belt centered.
