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, you may damage the
treadmill when you fold it. 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 metal frame firmly in the location shown by
the arrow at the right. CAUTION: To decrease the
possibility of injury, do not lift the frame by the plas-
tic foot rails. Make sure to bend your legs and keep
your back straight as you raise the frame.
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 latch pin
is aligned with the gap between the frame and platform,
and then slowly release the latch knob.

Make sure that

the latch pin is fully inserted into the gap.

To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of di-
rect sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-
age 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 se-

curely by the latch pin.

1. Hold a handrail and the frame, 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 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 it is resting in the storage position.
