HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL
HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Before folding the treadmill, adjust the incline to the
l
owest position. If you do not do this, you may damage the
treadmill when you fold it. Remove the key and unplug the
power cord. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs.
(20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the metal frame firmly in the location shown by the
arrow at the right. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility
of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic foot rails.
Make sure to bend your legs and keep your back straight.
As you raise the frame, make sure to lift with your legs
rather than with your back. Raise the frame about halfway
to the vertical position.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the
treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, pull the latch knob to
the left and hold it. Raise the frame until the latch pin is
aligned with the slot in the isolator. Slowly release the latch
knob. Make sure that the latch pin is fully inserted into
the slot in the isolator.
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° F (30° C).
HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the storage
position as described above. Make sure that the latch pin is
fully inserted into the slot in the isolator.
1. Hold the upper ends of the handrails. Place one foot against
one of the wheels.
2. Tilt the treadmill backward until it rolls freely on the front
wheels. Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location.
To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while
moving the treadmill. Do not move the treadmill over an
uneven surface.
3. Place one foot against one of the wheels, and carefully lower
the treadmill until it is resting in the storage position.
