9. Make sure there is sufficient space to tilt the machine back upright and
that the area is clear.
This step requires two people. Be sure there is adequate
clearance for the raised deck. Some components of the
equipment can be heavy or awkward. Enlist the service of a
second person when you do maintenance steps involving
these components. Do not try to do heavy or awkward steps
on your own.
10. 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.
11. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or
cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.
12. 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.
13. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop gradually. Hold onto the walking
deck until approximately 2/3 of the movement down. Lower the weight
with your legs. Be aware that the walking deck can possibly drop quickly
in the last part of the movement.
14. Final Inspection
Inspect your machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components
are properly assembled.
Do not use until the machine has been fully assembled and
inspected for correct performance in accordance with the
Owner’s Manual.
