Tilting The Machine - Nautilus T626 Assembly Manual

Tilting the Machine onto a Side
Do not tilt the machine until the Tilt Restraining Device has been attached and is locked to the Walking Deck.
Because of the hydraulic lift attached to the Walking Deck, the Deck will move as the machine is tilted onto the side. The
Tilt Restraining Device limits the movement of the Walking Deck. The Tilt Restraining Device is shipped attached to the
Base Frame Assembly.
Note: the Tilt Restraining Device is only used if the machine needs to be placed onto a side, and is not the locking
mechanism for transport or storage.
1. Fold the Walking Deck to gain access to the Tilt Restraining Device.
Using the support bar found below the rear of the walking belt, lift the walking deck fully upward and engage the hydraulic
lift. Be sure that the hydraulic lift is correctly locked in place.
Use proper safety precautions and lifting techniques.
Bend your knees and elbows, keep your back
straight and pull up equally with both arms. Make
sure that your own physical strength is capable of
lifting the walking deck until it engages the locking
mechanism. Use a second person if necessary.
Do not use the walking belt or rear roller to lift the
treadmill. These parts do not lock in place and
can abruptly move. Injury to you or damage to the
machine can occur.
Make sure that the locking mechanism is engaged.
Carefully pull back on the Walking Deck and make sure
that it does not move. When you do this, keep clear of
movement path in case the treadmill lock is not engaged.
Do not lean against the treadmill when it is folded. Do not put items on it that could cause it to become unstable or
fall.
2. Remove the Tilt Restraining Pin from the "Unlocked" position on the Base
Frame Assembly, and place it to the side of the machine.
