HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL
HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Before folding the treadmill, adjust the incline to the
lowest position. If this is not done, the treadmill may be-
come permanently damaged. Remove the key and unplug
the power cord. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift
45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the location shown by
the arrow at the right.
CAUTION: To decrease the possi-
bility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back
straight. As you raise the frame, lift with your legs
rather than your back.
Raise the frame about halfway to
the vertical position.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the
treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, pull the lock knob to
the left and hold it. Raise the frame until the pin on the
lock knob is aligned with the hole in the catch. Insert the
pin into the catch.
Make sure that the pin is fully in-
serted into the catch.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of
direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-
age position in temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.
HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the stor-
age position as described above.
Make sure that the pin
on the lock knob is fully inserted into the catch.
1. Hold the top of the upright and place one foot against a
wheel.
2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the front wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location.
Never move the treadmill without tipping it back. To
reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while
moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the
treadmill over an uneven surface.
3. Place one foot against a wheel, and carefully lower the
treadmill until it is resting in the storage position.
