Unfolding The Machine - Nautilus T618 Service Manual

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.
8. Roll the machine on the transport wheels (5c) to its new location.
Do not put objects where the walking deck would be if lowered.
NOTICE: Move the machine carefully so that it does not hit other objects. This can damage the Console operation.
9. Prior to use, refer to the "Unfolding the Machine" procedure in this manual.

Unfolding the Machine

1. 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.
Place the machine on a clean, hard, level surface, free from unwanted material or other objects that may
hamper your ability to move freely with a sufficient clear workout area. A rubber mat below the machine is
recommended to prevent electrostatic discharge and protect your floor.
Be sure that the workout space you are utilizing has adequate height clearance, taking into consideration
the height of the user and the maximum incline of the deck.
2. Make sure there is no object on or around the treadmill to spill or cause blockage from the fully unfolded position.
3. Move to the right side of the machine. Press and hold the plastic deck release handle (5a) under the end of the right
side rail. While grasping the support bar (5b), release the deck handle.
Keep clear of the movement path of the walking deck.
4. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop lightly. 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. The walking deck can
possibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement.
