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 damaged. Next, UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE FRONT OF THE TREADMILL. CAUTION: You
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Pull the console latch to the right and rotate the console
base to the storage position. (Note: It may be helpful to
push down on the right handrail as you pull the console
latch.) Release the console latch, making sure that the con-
sole base is locked in the storage position.
Next, hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations
shown. CAUTION: 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. Using your left hand, pull the storage latch
to the left and hold it. Raise the treadmill until the catch
plate is past the pin on the storage latch. Slowly release
the storage latch. Make sure that the pin is securely
holding the catch plate as shown.
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 storage latch is securely holding the catch plate.
1. Hold the handrails as shown 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. Note:
If the power cord from the cabinet is connected to the
treadmill, roll the treadmill no more than six feet from the
cabinet. 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 on the wheel, and carefully lower the tread-
mill until it is resting in the storage position. Note: If the
treadmill is inside the cabinet, make sure that the treadmill
is fully inside before closing the cabinet doors.
