9. Remove the old Lift Shock and replace with the new Lift Shock.
10. Using a 10mm and a 14mm wrench, re-connect the cable to the Lift
Cylinder.
11. Installation of the remaining parts is the reverse procedure.
12. Make sure there is sufficient space to tilt the machine back upright and
that the area is clear.
This step requires two people. Be sure there is adequate
clearance for the raised deck. Some components of the
equipment can be heavy or awkward. Enlist the service of a
second person when you do maintenance steps involving
these components. Do not try to do heavy or awkward steps
on your own.
13. Make sure there is sufficient space to lower the walking deck.
Keep a minimum clearance behind the machine of 79" (2 m)
and 24" (0.6 m) on each side. This is the recommended safe
distance for access, movement and emergency dismounts
from the machine.
14. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or
cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.
15. Slightly push the walking deck forward toward the console, and then
push the Deck Release Handle until the locking tube releases and you
can pull the walking deck away from the console. Hold up the rear of the
walking deck, and move to the side of the machine.
Keep clear of the movement path of the walking deck.
16. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop gradually. Hold onto the walking
deck until approximately 2/3 of the movement down. Make sure that you
use proper lifting technique; bend your knees and keep your back straight.
Lower the weight with your legs. Be aware that the walking deck can pos-
sibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement.
17. Final Inspection
Inspect your machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components
are properly assembled.
Do not use until the machine has been fully assembled and
inspected for correct performance in accordance with the
Owner's Manual.
