Note: Make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that is easy to clean.
38. Make sure that there is safe clearance around, on and above the treadmill. Make
sure there is no object to spill or cause blockage from the fully folded position.
Be sure there is adequate height clearance for the raised deck.
39. Using the support bar found below the rear of the walking belt, lift the walking
deck fully upward and engage the hydraulic lift. Be sure that the hydraulic lift is cor-
rectly locked in place. You will hear an audible click when the hydraulic lift shifts into
the locked position.
Use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques. Bend your knees and
elbows, keep your back straight and pull up equally with both arms. Make sure
that your own physical strength is capable of lifting the walking deck until it
engages the locking mechanism. Use a second person if necessary.
Do not use the walking belt or rear roller to lift the treadmill. These parts
do not lock in place and can abruptly move. Injury to you or damage to the
machine can occur.
40. Make sure that the locking mechanism is engaged. Carefully pull back on the walking deck and make sure that it does not move. When you do
this, keep clear of movement path in case the treadmill lock is not engaged.
Do not lean against the treadmill when it is folded. Do not put items on it that could cause it to become unstable or fall.
41. Apply a few drops of the lubricant to the inner surface of the belt for the entire width of the belt. A very thin layer of silicone lubricant on the entire
deck below the belt is desired.
NOTICE:
Always use a silicone-based lubricant such as the lubricant supplied with the machine. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40
®
as
this could seriously impact performance. We can recommend that you use the following:
• 8300 Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
• Lube-N-Walk
®
Treadmill Lubrication Kit, available from your local specialty fitness dealer or local distributor.
42. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
43. Make sure there is sufficient space to lower the walking deck.
Keep a minimum clearance behind the machine of 2 m (79”) and 0.6 m (24”)
on each side. This is the recommended safe distance for access, movement
and emergency dismounts from the machine.
44. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or cause blockage
from the fully unfolded position.
45. Slightly push the walking deck forward toward the console. With your foot lightly
push the top part of the hydraulic lift forward until the locking tube releases and you
can pull the walking deck away from the console. Hold up the rear of the walking
deck, and move to the side of the machine.
Keep clear of the movement path of the walking deck.
