6. 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.
7. 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 tread-
mill. These parts do not lock in place and can abruptly
move. Injury to you or damage to the machine can occur.
8. 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.
Note: Your machine may not match exactly.
9. Safely tilt the right side of the machine up, and place an incom-
pressible block or book under the Base Assembly.

Output Connectors and disconnect them.
Note: Do not pinch or cut the cables.

13. Connect the other end of the new Lower I/O Cable to the old
Lower I/O Cable.
