34. 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.
35. 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.
Straighten your legs to lift. Make sure that your own physical strength is
capable of lifting the walking deck until it engages the locking mecha-
nism. 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.
36. 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 properly 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.
37. Apply a few drops of 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 100% silicone lubricant. 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 Nautilus, Inc.
38. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
39. Make sure there is sufficient space to lower the walking deck.
Keep a minimum clearance behind the machine of 79” (2 m) and 24” (0.6 m) on each side. This is the recommended safe distance
for access, movement and emergency dismounts from the machine.
40. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.
32. Re-install all remaining parts that were removed in reverse order.
33. Inspect the surface material below the Treadmill. If the surface material is difficult to clean or could be damaged by silicone lubricant, place
absorbent material (such as cardboard or newspaper) below the length of the Walking Deck.
