5. 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.
6. Using the support bar found below the rear of the walking belt, push the
Deck Release Handle and lift the walking deck fully upward and engage
the hydraulic lift. Be sure that the hydraulic lift is correctly 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. Make sure that your own physical
strength is capable of lifting the walking deck until it engages
the locking mechanism. 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.
7. 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
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.
8. Make sure there is sufficient space to tilt the machine onto the left side.
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.
Note:
THE FOLLOWING STEP MAY REQUIRE A SECOND PERSON.
9. Tilt the machine onto the left side.
Be sure the area is clear around the machine before tilting it.
Do not grasp the Walking Belt since it can abruptly move.
The machine may be moved by one or more persons depend-
ing on their physical abilities and capacities. Make sure that
you and others are all physically fit and able to move the
machine safely.
