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 per-
manently damaged. Remove the key and 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. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of in-
jury, 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. Pull the lock knob to the left and hold it.
Raise the treadmill until the platform passes the pin on
the lock knob. Release the lock knob. Make sure that
the platform is resting against the pin 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 stor-
age position as described above. Make sure that the catch
plate is resting against the pin on the lock knob.

1. Hold the handrails as shown and place one foot against a

wheel.

2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the front 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 on the base, and carefully lower the tread-

mill until it is resting in the storage position.
