1. Unplug the power cord from the machine and wait 5 minutes. Place the power
cord in a secure location.
2. 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.
3. 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 dam-
age to the machine can occur.
4. 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.
5. Make sure that there is safe clearance around, on and above the treadmill to one
side. Tilt the machine onto the side being sure not to grasp the Console.
A second person is required to assist with the tilting of the machine.
Do not tilt the machine unless the walking deck is in the folded, locked
position. Be sure there is adequate clearance for the raised deck.
Some components of the equipment can be heavy or awkward. Enlist
the service of a second person when you do maintenance steps involv-
ing these components. Do not try to do heavy or awkward steps on
your own.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or unsupervised usage of the equipment, always unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet and wait 5 minutes before cleaning, maintaining or repairing this machine. Place
the power cord in a secure location.
