10. Using a 6mm hex wrench, remove the hardware that attaches the
Crossbar to the Uprights.
Be prepared to support the weight of the Crossbar before
removing the hardware. Injury to you or damage to the
machine can occur.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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 properly 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.
