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
damaged. Next, unplug the power cord. CAUTION: You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to
raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown
at the right. (CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of
injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As
you raise the treadmill, make sure to lift with your legs
rather than your back.) Raise the treadmill about halfway
to the vertical position.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the
treadmill firmly. Hold the lock knob with your left hand and
pull it to the left. Raise the treadmill until the lock knob is
aligned with the slot in the catch. (Note: You may need to
push the handrail to the left slightly). Slowly release the
knob; make sure that the pin on the lock knob is in-
serted into the slot in the catch.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of
direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-
age position in temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS
As you exercise on the treadmill, you can hold either the
handrails or the upper body arms. The upper body arms are
designed to exercise your arms, shoulders, and back for a
total body workout. Hold one upper body arm with each
hand, and move them forward and back as you walk on the
treadmill.
To vary the intensity of your upper body exercise, the resis-
tance of the upper body arms can be adjusted. To increase
the resistance, turn the resistance knobs clockwise; to de-
crease the resistance, turn the knobs counterclockwise.
