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 treadmill 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 frame, make
sure to lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise
the frame about halfway to the vertical position.
2. Hold the frame firmly with your left hand. Using your right
hand, pull the latch knob to the right and hold it. Raise
the treadmill until the pin on the latch knob is aligned with
the hole in the left handgrip. Then, release the latch
knob.
Make sure that the latch knob is fully released
so the pin is fully inserted into the hole in the left
handgrip.
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 hole in the
left handgrip.
1. Hold the handgrips 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 in the storage position.
HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE
1. See drawing 2 above. Hold the treadmill frame firmly with your left hand. Pull the latch knob to the right. Pivot
the frame down until the pin on the latch knob is below the handgrip. Then, slowly release the latch knob.
2. See drawing 1 above. Hold the frame firmly with both hands, and lower the frame to the floor. To decrease
the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.
