Care of the Machine
Inspecting
1. Visually inspect the TreadClimber
®
machine every time you use it for wear, damage, or loose parts.
2. Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or paint chips during the weekly cleaning. The salt in perspiration can
damage the unpainted surfaces.
3. Inspect the belts for excessive wear during lubrication. Adjust the belt tension if necessary.

®
Main Power Switch turned on.

Positioning and Storing the TreadClimber
®
Machine
The TreadClimber
®
machine weighs 185 pounds (84 kg.) when fully assembled, and should never be moved or lifted
without taking some precautionary care.
There are two handles for lifting on the back of the base and two wheels on either side of the front of the base beneath
the console.
The TreadClimber
®
machine requires 90 pounds (41 kg.) of force
to lift the base to achieve the 30 degree angle necessary to roll it
on the front wheels. As this is a considerable amount of force, it is
highly recommended that you do not attempt to ever lift or move the
TreadClimber
®
machine without help.
When lifted properly, your TreadClimber
®
machine can be rolled on the
wheels for storage and/or cleaning. Failure to follow precautions could
result in physical injury to you, or damage to the machine, or both.
Do not use the uprights, arms, or console to lift or move the
TreadClimber
®
machine. Doing so could cause physical injury to
you, and could damage or destroy the TreadClimber
®
machine.
