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, lift with your legs rather than with your back.
Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the
treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, pull the latch knob to the
left and hold it. Raise the frame until the latch plate is past the
latch pin, and then slowly release the latch knob.
Make sure
that the frame is held securely by the latch pin.
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 frame is held
securely by the latch pin.
1. Hold one handrail and place one foot against one of the
wheels.
Do not pull back on the frame.
2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location.
To re-
duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while mov-
ing the treadmill. Do not move the treadmill over an un-
even surface.
3. Place one foot against one of the wheels, and carefully lower
the treadmill until it is resting in the storage position.
HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE

Pivot the frame down until it is past the latch pin. Then, release the latch knob.
2. See drawing 1 above.
Hold the metal frame firmly with both hands
, and lower it to the floor.
CAUTION: To
decrease the possibility of injury, do not lower the frame by gripping only the plastic foot rails. Do not
drop the frame to the floor. Make sure to bend your legs and keep your back straight.
