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 per-
manently damaged. Next, 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 locations shown by
the arrow at the right. Raise the frame about halfway to the
vertical position.
To decrease the possibility of injury,
bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise
the frame, make sure to lift with your legs rather than
your back.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the
treadmill firmly. Using your left thumb, press the storage latch
to the left. Raise the frame until the storage latch closes over
the catch.
Make sure that the storage latch is fully en-
gaged over the catch.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat
under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sun-
light. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage position in
temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.
HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the storage
position as described above.
Make sure that the storage latch
is fully engaged over the catch.
1. Hold the upper ends of the handrails, and place one foot
against one of the wheels.
2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location.
To re-
duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while mov-
ing the treadmill. Do not move the treadmill over an un-
even surface.
3. Place one foot against one of the wheels, and carefully lower
the treadmill until it is resting in the storage position.
HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE
1. See drawing 2 above. Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand. Press the storage latch to the
left. Pivot the frame down until it and the foot rail are past the storage latch.
2. See drawing 1. Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and lower the frame to the floor.
Do not drop the
frame. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.
