38. Make sure that there is safe clearance around, on and above the treadmill. Make
sure there is no object to spill or cause blockage from the fully folded position.
Be sure there is adequate height clearance for the raised deck.
39. 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. You will hear an audible click when the
hydraulic lift shifts into the locked position.
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.
40. 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.
41. Apply a few drops of lubricant to the inner surface of the belt for the entire width of the belt. A very thin layer of silicone lubricant on the entire
deck below the belt is desired.
NOTICE: Always use a 100% silicone lubricant. Do not use a degreaser like WD-40
recommend that you use the following:
• 8300 Silicone Spray, available at most Hardware and Auto Parts stores.
• Lube-N-Walk
42. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
43. Make sure there is suffi cient 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.
44. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.
45. Slightly push the walking deck forward toward the console. With your foot lightly push the top part of the hydraulic lift forward 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.
