TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM
Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform peri-
odically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the
walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over after every 6,000 to
7,500 miles. Follow the instructions below to turn over the walking platform.
1. Remove the key and unplug the
power cord. Remove the Endcap
Screws (6) and the Left and Right
Front Endcaps (64, 18). Remove
the Roller Adjustment Bolt (16)
and the Washer (17) from each
side of the Front Roller (180).
2. Remove the six Front and Rear
Platform Screws (8, 122). (Note:
Be very careful to avoid chip-
ping or damaging the phenolic
coating on the Walking Platform
(21). Lift the Front Roller (180) and
slide it out of the Walking Belt (20).
Lift the Walking Platform and the
Walking Belt to the position shown
by the dotted lines. Slide the
Walking Platform out of the
Walking Belt, turn it, and then slide
it back into the Walking Belt.
3. Lay down the Walking Platform
(21) and the Walking Belt (20). Slide the Front Roller (180) back into the Walking Belt. Look under the Walking
Platform and make sure that the Front Roller Guards (121) are between the Walking Belt and the Walking
Platform (see the inset drawing).
4. Reattach the six Front and Rear Platform Screws (8, 122). Thread the Roller Adjustment Bolts (16) with the
Washers (17) into the Roller (180). Reattach the Front Endcaps (64, 18) with the Endcap Screws (6).
5. Next, the Walking Belt (20) will need to be adjusted to the
proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks on the Walking
Belt exactly 60” apart, as shown in the drawing. Tighten both
Roller Adjustment Bolts (16, shown in the drawing above)
until the two chalk marks move apart an additional 3/16” to
1/4”. As you tighten the Roller Adjustment Bolts, the Front
Roller (180) will move. If the Front Roller stops moving, do
not further tighten the Roller Adjustment Bolts; contact
your distributor. Make sure to keep the Walking Belt cen-
tered.
REPLACING THE WALKING PLATFORM
When both sides of the walking platform become worn, the walking platform should be replaced. The walking
platform will need to be replaced after every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Refer to page 44 to order a new walking plat-
form. Follow the instructions above to replace the walking platform.
REPLACING THE WALKING BELT
When the walking belt becomes worn, it should be replaced. The walking belt will need to be replaced after every
12,000 to 15,000 miles. Refer to page 42 to order a new walking belt.
