The treadmill comes with a folding feature that reduces the amount of storage space required
when your treadmill is not in use and makes the treadmill easier to move.
Folding the Treadmill
1. Make sure that the On/Off switch is turned Off and the power cord is removed from the wall.
2. Make sure that nothing is on or near your treadmill which might spill, be knocked over or
prevent the treadmill from completely folding.
3. (a.) Place both hands under the support bar that is located directly under the back of the
running belt on your treadmill to make sure that you have a solid lifting point.
(b.) Lift the treadmill all of the way forward and make sure that the hydraulic lift is
properly locked in place.
Caution: When lifting, use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques. Bend your knees
and elbows, keep your back straight and pull up evenly with both arms.
(c.) Ensure that the locking mechanism is secure by gently pulling back on the
treadmill and make sure that it doesn’t move. When doing this, be careful to be securely
positioned in case the treadmill lock has not engaged.
Caution:
• Do not fold the treadmill by lifting on the running belt or rear roller. These parts do not
lock in place and are difficult to grip when folding - personal injury or damage to the treadmill
could result.
• Do not lean against the treadmill once it is folded or place items on it that could cause it to
become unstable or fall over. This could result in serious personal injury.
• Do not connect the power cord when the treadmill is folded or try to operate the treadmill in
the folded position
