6. 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

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.

8. 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.

from the fully unfolded position.

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.
11. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop gradually. Hold onto the walking deck until
approximately 2/3 of the movement down. Make sure that you use proper lifting
technique; bend your knees and keep your back straight. Be aware that the walking
deck can possibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement.
