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 end of the treadmill near the location indicated by
the arrow at the right. To decrease the possibility of in-
jury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As
you raise the frame, make sure to lift with your legs
rather than your back. Raise the frame 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 latch knob
to the left and hold it. Raise the frame until the catch is
aligned with the pin on the latch knob. Slowly release the
latch knob.
Make sure that the pin on the latch knob is
fully inserted into 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
storage position as described above.
Make sure that the
pin on the latch knob is fully inserted into the catch.
1. Hold the treadmill 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. 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 against a wheel, and carefully lower the
treadmill until the base is resting in the storage position.
