Unfolding the Treadmill
A. Make sure you have adequate space to lay the treadmill down. There
needs to be at least 2 feet of clearance on both sides and in the front of the
treadmill. There should be at least 4 feet of clearance on the back side of
the treadmill for safety reasons. If you were to fall this would give adequate
clearance to get off the treadmill.
B. Inspect so nothing is on or near your treadmill that might spill, be knocked
over or prevent the treadmill from completely unfolding.
C. Position yourself behind the treadmill. Slightly push the treadmill forward
towards the display and with your foot pull up o the hydraulic shock lever.
The treadmill can now be pulled back away from the console. (See FIG. 1, 2 &
3)
D. The hydraulic shock is set up to drop softly without assistance. It is not a bad
idea to hold onto the treadmill until it is about 2/3 of the way down. Make
sure that you use proper lifting technique, bending your knees and keeping
your back straight.
