lowest position. If this is not done, the treadmill may be
permanently damaged. Next, unplug the power cord. CAU-
TION: You must be able to safely lift 20 kg (45 lbs.) in order
to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown.
CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of injury, bend
your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the
treadmill, lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise
the treadmill halfway to the vertical position.

treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, pull the latch knob to

the pin on the lock knob. Slowly release the latch knob.
Make sure that the catch is held securely by the pin.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat
under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sun-
light. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage position
in temperatures above 30° C (85° F).

move the treadmill without tipping it back. To reduce the
