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) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

1. Hold the treadmill with your hands 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. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the

treadmill firmly. Hold the lock knob with your left hand
and pull it to the side. Raise the treadmill until the lock
knob is aligned with the catch. Slowly release the lock
knob. Make sure that the pin on the lock knob is in-
side of the catch.

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 stor-
age position as described above. Make sure that the pin
on the lock knob is inside of the catch.

1. Hold the handrails and place one foot on a front wheel as

shown.

2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the front

wheels. Carefully move the treadmill to the desired loca-
tion. Never move the treadmill without tipping it back.
To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution
while moving the treadmill. Do not move the treadmill
over an uneven surface.

3. Place one foot on the base and carefully lower the tread-

mill until it is resting on the base.
