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 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. Using your left hand, press the storage
latch open and raise the treadmill until the storage latch
closes over the catch. Make sure that the storage latch
is fully engaged over 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 USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

As you exercise on the treadmill, you can hold either the
handrails or the upper body arms. The upper body arms
are designed to exercise your arms, shoulders, and back
for a total body workout. Hold one upper body arm with
each hand, and move them forward and back as you walk
on the treadmill.

To vary the intensity of your upper body exercise, the re-
sistance of the upper body arms can be adjusted. To in-
crease the resistance, turn the resistance knobs clockwise;
to decrease the resistance, turn the knobs counterclock-
wise.
