TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM
Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform
periodically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged,
the walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over and the walking belt
replaced (see page 32) after every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 kilometers). Follow the instructions
below to turn over the walking platform.
1.
Remove the key and unplug
the power cord. Remove the
#8 x 3/4" Screws (16), the #8 x
1/2" Machine Screws (2), and the
Front Cover (17). Next, remove
the 3/8" x 5" Screw (19) and the
3/8" Star Washer (14) from each
side of the Front Roller (13).
2. Remove the four 3/8" x 1 3/4"
Screws (10) and the two 3/8" x
1 1/2" Screws (20). (Note: Be
very careful to avoid chipping
or damaging the phenolic coat-
ing on the Walking Platform
[23].) Lift the Front Roller (13)
and slide it out of the Walking Belt
(18). Lift the Walking Platform and
the Walking Belt to the position
shown by the dotted lines. Slide
the Walking Platform out of the
Walking Belt, turn it, and then
slide it back into the Walking Belt.
3. Lay down the Walking Platform (23) and the Walking Belt (18). Slide the Front Roller (13) back into the
Walking Belt.
4. Reattach the 3/8" x 1 3/4" Screws (10) and the 3/8" x 1 1/2" Screws (20). Thread the 3/8" x 5" Screws (19)
with the 3/8" Star Washers (14) into the Front Roller (13). Reattach the Front Cover (17) with the #8 x 3/4"
Screws (16) and the #8 x 1/2" Machine Screws (2).
5. Next, the Walking Belt (18) will need to be adjusted to the
proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks on the Walking
Belt exactly 1.25 m (50 in.) apart, as shown in the drawing.
Tighten both 3/8" x 5" Screws (19, see the drawing above)
until the two chalk marks move apart an additional 5 to 6 mm
(3/16 to 1/4 in.). As you tighten the Screws, the Front Roller
(13) will move. If the Front Roller stops moving, do not
further tighten the Screws; please see the back cover of
this manual. Make sure to keep the Walking Belt centered.
