Bowflex BXT116 Assembly & Owners Manual page 21

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.
7. 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.
Do not connect the power cord or try to operate the treadmill in the folded position.
8. Carefully tilt the base frame of the folded treadmill a small distance back on the transport wheels while grasping the front support bar.
Do not use the Console, handlebars, or lifted walking deck to lift or move the treadmill. Damage to the treadmill can occur.
Keep clear of the movement path of the lifted walking deck.
9. Roll the machine on the transport wheels to its new location.
Place the machine on a clean, hard, level surface, free from unwanted material or other objects that may hamper your ability to
move freely. A rubber mat should be used below the machine to prevent the release of static electricity and protect your flooring.
Do not put objects in the path of the walking deck when lowered.
NOTICE: Move the machine carefully so that it does not hit other objects. This can damage the Console operation.
10. Prior to use, refer to the "Unfolding the Machine" procedure in this manual.
