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 perma-
nently damaged. Remove the key and 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 location shown by the
arrow at the right. CAUTION: 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 hand, pull the latch knob to
the left and hold it. Raise the frame until the catch is past the
latch pin. Then, slowly release the latch knob. Make sure
that the frame is securely held by the latch 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 85° Fahrenheit.
HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL
Before moving the treadmill, convert it to the storage position as
described above. Make sure that the frame is held securely
by the latch pin.
1. Hold the handrails and place one foot against one of the
wheels.
2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the wheels. Carefully
move the treadmill to the desired location. Never move the
treadmill without tipping it back. To reduce the risk of in-
jury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do
not attempt to move the treadmill over an uneven surface.
3. Place one foot against a wheel, and carefully lower the tread-
mill until it is resting in the storage position.
HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE
1. See drawing 2 above. Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand. Pull the latch knob to the left
and hold it. Pivot the frame down until it is past the latch pin.
2. See drawing 1 above. Hold the frame firmly with both hands, and lower it to the floor. CAUTION: To decrease
the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.
