HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL

HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE

Before folding the treadmill, 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. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your
legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the tread-
mill, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your
back.
Raise the treadmill about halfway to the vertical posi-
tion.

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 treadmill until the latch pin is
aligned with the square hole between the frame and the foot
rail. Slowly release the latch knob so the latch pin is inserted
into the hole. Make sure that the frame is securely held by
the latch pin.

To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat
under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sun-
light. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage position in
temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

As you walk on the treadmill, you can either hold the handrails
or use the upper body arms. To exercise your arms, shoulders,
and back for a total body workout, move the upper body arms
forward and back as you walk on the treadmill.

To vary the intensity of your upper body exercise, the resistance
of the upper body arms can be adjusted. To increase the resis-
tance, turn the resistance knobs clockwise; to decrease the re-
sistance, turn the knobs counterclockwise.
