Unfolding the TR1200i Treadmill
A. Make sure you have adequate space to lay the treadmill down. There
needs to be at least 2 feet of clearance on both sides and in the front of
the treadmill. There should be at least 4 feet of clearance on the back
side of the treadmill for safety reasons. If the user were to fall this would
give adequate clearance to get off the treadmill.
B. Inspect so nothing is on or near your treadmill that might spill, be
knocked over or prevent the treadmill from completely unfolding.
C. Position yourself behind the treadmill. Slightly push the treadmill for-
ward towards the display and with your foot lightly push the top portion
of the left hydraulic shock forward till the locking tube frees and the
treadmill can be pulled back away from the console. (See FIG. 1, 2 & 3)
D. The hydraulic shock is set up to drop softly without assistance. It is not a
bad idea to hold onto the treadmill until it is about 2/3 of the way down.
Make sure that you use proper lifting technique, bending your knees
and keeping your back straight.
