 HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL 

 HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL

To avoid damaging the treadmill, adjust the incline 

to zero before you fold the treadmill. Then, 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 below. CAUTION: Do not hold the 

frame by the plastic foot rails. Bend your legs 

and keep your back straight as you raise the 

frame about halfway to the vertical position.

2.   Hold the frame firmly with your right hand. Pull the 

latch knob to the left and hold it. Raise the frame 

until the latch plate is aligned with the latch pin. 

Then, slowly release the latch knob; make sure 

that the latch pin is resting on the latch plate.

To protect the floor or carpet, place a mat under the 

treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sunlight. Do 

not leave the treadmill in the storage position in tem-

peratures above 85°F (30°C).

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, fold it as described at the 

left. CAUTION: Make sure that the latch knob is 

locked in the storage position. Moving the treadmill 

may require two people.

1.    Hold the frame and one of the handrails, and place 

one foot against a wheel.

2.     Pull back on the handrail until the treadmill will roll 

on the wheels, and carefully move it to the desired 

location. CAUTION: Do not move the tread-

mill without tipping it back, do not pull on the 

frame, and do not move the treadmill over an 

uneven surface.

3.    Place one foot against a wheel, and carefully lower 

the treadmill.

HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE

with your right hand. Pull the latch knob to the left 

and hold it. Next, lower the frame until it is past 

the latch pin. Make sure that the pin does not hit 

against the foot rail. Then, release the latch knob.

firmly with both hands, and lower it to the floor. 

CAUTION: Do not hold the frame by the plastic 

foot rails, and do not drop the frame. Bend your
