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 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. Bend
your legs and keep your back straight as you raise the frame.
Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.
2. Raise the frame until the latch knob locks into the first storage
position. To store the treadmill in the second storage position,
pivot the handrails to the folded position (see drawing 1). Then,
pull the latch knob to the left and raise the treadmill to the sec-
ond storage position.
Make sure that the latch knob is
locked in a storage position.
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 knob is
locked in the storage position.
1. Hold a handrail and place a foot against one of the wheels.
2. Tip the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the wheels. Carefully
move the treadmill to the desired location.
Never move the
treadmill without tipping it back. To reduce the risk of in-
jury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do
not attempt to move the treadmill over an uneven surface.
3. Place one foot against a wheel, and carefully lower the treadmill
until it is resting in the storage position.
HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE
1.
See drawing 2.
Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand. Pull the latch knob to the left and hold
it. It may be necessary to push the frame forward as you pull the knob to the left. Pivot the frame downward
and release the latch knob.
2.
See drawing 1. Hold the metal frame firmly with both hands and lower it to the floor. CAUTION: Do not
grip only the plastic foot rails or drop the frame to the floor. Bend your legs and keep your back
straight.
If necessary, pivot the handrails down for use.
