TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM

Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform peri-
odically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the
walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over after every 6,000 to
7,500 miles. Follow the instructions below to turn over the walking platform.

1. Remove the key and unplug the

power cord. Remove the two
Hood Screws (2) and lift off the
Motor Hood (1). Next, remove the
two Rear Roller Bolts (82), the
two Roller Guard Screws (80),
and the Right and Left Roller
Guards (81, 83).

2. Remove the six Platform Screws

(6). (Note: Be very careful when
removing the Platform Screws
and when handling the Walking
Platform [70]. The phenolic
coating on the Walking
Platform can be chipped or
damaged if it is mishandled.)
Lift the Rear Roller (79) and slide
it out of the Walking Belt (71). Lift
the Walking Platform (70) a few inches, slide it out of the Walking Belt, turn it over, and then slide it back into
the Walking Belt. Slide the Rear Roller back into the Walking Belt. Reattach the six Platform Screws (6).

3. Reattach the Right and Left Roller Guards (81, 83) with the two Roller Guard Screws (80). Insert the Rear

Roller Bolts (82) into the Roller Guards and thread them into the Rear Roller (79). Reattach the Motor Hood
(1) with the two Hood Screws (2).

4. Next, the Walking Belt (71) will need to be adjusted to the

proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks on the
Walking Belt exactly 50” apart, as shown in the drawing.
Tighten both Rear Roller Bolts (82) until the two chalk
marks move apart an additional 3/16” to 1/4”. Make sure to
keep the Walking Belt centered.
