35. Re-install all remaining parts that were removed in reverse order.
Note: Make sure the treadmill is located on a surface that is easy to clean.
36. 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.
37. Using the support bar found below the rear of the walking belt, push
the Deck Release Handle and 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.
38. 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.
39. 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
40. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.
41. 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.
42. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.
