24. 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.

25. 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.

26. 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

27. Manually rotate the belt 1/2 of the length of the belt and apply lubricant again.

28. 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.

28. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.

29. 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.

30. 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. Be aware that the walking deck can possibly drop quickly in the last part of the

movement.

If you used spray lubricant, wait 5 minutes before turning on power to the machine to allow the aerosol to dissipate.

31. Attach the power cord and turn on the Treadmill by flipping the power switch to ON.

32. Stay to one side of your machine and start the belt at the slowest speed. Let the belt operate for approximately 15 seconds.

Be sure not to touch the walking belt or step on the power cord. Keep bystanders, children and pets away from the machine you are

servicing at all times.

33. Switch off your machine.
