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 pos-

sibility of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic

foot rails. Make sure to bend your legs and keep your

back straight as you raise the frame. 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 pin is

aligned with the gap between the frame and the walking

platform, 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 di-

rect sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-

age position in temperatures above 85° F (30° C).

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, convert it to the storage position

as described above. Make sure that the frame is held se-

curely by the latch pin.

1. Hold a handrail and the frame and place one foot against

one of the wheels.

2. Tilt 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 injury, 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. Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand. Pull the latch knob to the left. 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. 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.
