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 the incline is not at the lowest position,
the treadmill will be permanently 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 avoid pinching your hands, do
not hold the treadmill in the locations indicated by the
arrows. 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. Raise the treadmill until the storage latch
closes over the catch. Make sure that the storage latch
closes fully over the catch.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of di-
rect sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage
position in temperatures above 85¡ Fahrenheit.

HOW TO ADJUST THE FIRMNESS OF THE
WALKING PLATFORM
The walking
platform is
specially designed
to cushion the
impact as you
walk or run on
the treadmill. The
firmness of the
walking platform
can be adjusted
to any of three
settings using the control on the right side of the
treadmill. For a firmer walking platform, turn the control
clockwise. For a softer walking platform, turn the control
counterclockwise. If it is difficult to turn the control,
lift up on the walking platform while turning the
control. Note: The faster you run on the treadmill, the
firmer the walking platform should be. If the walking
platform is too soft, the treadmill may bounce exces-
sively.
