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 this is not done, the treadmill may be
permanently damaged. Next, unplug the power cord.
CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

1. Hold the treadmill in the locations shown at the right. To

decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and
keep your back straight. As you raise the treadmill,
make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back.
Raise the treadmill about halfway to the vertical position.

2 . Hold the treadmill frame firmly with your left hand. Using

your right hand, pull the latch knob to the right and hold it.
Raise the treadmill until the pin on the latch knob is
aligned with the hole in the left handgrip. Then, release
the latch knob. Make sure that the latch knob is fully
released so the pin is fully inserted into the hole in
the left handgrip. Note: After a period of use, the latch
housing may need to be adjusted to align the pin with the
hole in the left handgrip (see assembly step 9 on page 9).

To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of
direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-
age position in temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the
storage position as described above. Make sure that the
pin on the latch knob is fully inserted into the hole in the
left handgrip.

1. Hold the treadmill and place one foot on the base.

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
moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the
treadmill over an uneven surface.

3. Place one foot on the wheel, and carefully lower the

treadmill until the base is resting in the storage position.
