HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL

HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Before folding the treadmill, adjust the incline to the
lowest position. If this is not done, the treadmill may be per-
manently damaged. Next, unplug the power cord. CAUTION:
You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise,
lower, or move the treadmill.
1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown at
the right. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your
legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the frame,
make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back.
Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.
2. Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the
treadmill firmly. Using your left thumb, press the storage latch
to the left. Raise the frame until the storage latch closes over
the catch. Make sure that the storage latch is fully en-
gaged over the catch.
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 85° Fahrenheit.
HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the storage
position as described above. Make sure that the frame is se-
curely held by the storage latch.
1. Hold the upper ends of the handrails. Place one foot against
one of the wheels as shown.
2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the front wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location. To re-
duce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while mov-
ing the treadmill. Do not move the treadmill over an un-
even surface.
3. Place one foot against one of the wheels, and carefully lower
the treadmill until it is resting in the storage position.
