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 you do not do this, the treadmill may be per-
manently damaged. Remove the key and unplug the power
cord. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (20 kg)
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the location shown by the

arrow at the right.

CAUTION: 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. 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 past the
latch pin. Then, slowly release the latch knob.

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° F. (30° C).

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, convert it to the storage position as
described above.

Make sure that the frame is held securely

by the latch pin.

1. Hold the handrails 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.

Never move the

treadmill without tipping it back. To reduce the risk of in-
jury, 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 tread-

mill until it is resting in the storage position.

HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE

1. See drawing 2 above. Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand. Pull the latch knob to the left

and hold it. Pivot the frame down until it is past the latch pin. Then, release the latch knob.

2. See drawing 1 above. Hold the frame firmly with both hands, and lower it to the floor.

CAUTION: To decrease

the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.
