The treadmill can be folded easily by means of a “gas shock” mechanism. Folding the treadmill when it is not in use
frees up floor space and makes it easy to move the unit.
Folding the treadmill: When the treadmill is idle, set the incline grade to 0 percent, switch the unit off, and unplug it.
Then, with both hands, lift the back end of the treadmill upward until it clicks and locks into place.
Caution: The treadmill must be set to 0% before folding. Damage may occur and the treadmill may not
lock into a proper upright position.
Moving and positioning the treadmill: Once the treadmill is folded and locked, simply roll it to the desired location.
When positioning the treadmill for use, allow for a clearance area of six feet by four feet behind the treadmill to make it
easy to get on and off the treadmill and to adjust the tension of the belt. See the section titled Specifications for the
treadmill’s dimensions. Also, make sure to use the treadmill on a firm, level surface.
Note: Occasionally, after extended treadmill use, a fine black dust may accumulate on the floor beneath the unit. This
does not indicate that anything is wrong with the treadmill, and the dust can easily be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
To prevent the dust from accumulating on floor, place a mat beneath the unit.
Unfolding the treadmill: Stand directly behind the treadmill. Support the treadmill base
with the right hand, and pull and hold the release handle downward with the left hand. The
handle is located on the end of the left main frame. Begin lowering the base a short dis-
tance. Let go of the release handle and, with both hands, guide the treadmill deck down to
unfold it.
Caution: As the treadmill comes closer to the ground, it lowers at a faster rate and feels heavier.

EQUIREMENT
Consult the chart below for electrical requirements outside the U.S. and Canada. The plug must be inserted into an elec-
trical outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

NSTRUCTIONS
This product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of
least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment.
Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Use only the power cord provided with this treadmill.
DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check
with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the prod-
uct. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The treadmill will start up only when the safety key has been properly inserted into the key-holder on the console. For
more information, see section 2.3, titled Emergency Stop System.
