Storage And Moving The Machine - Nautilus T618 Owner's Manual

Storage and Moving the Machine

The machine can be moved by one or more persons. Use caution when you move the machine. The
treadmill is heavy and can be awkward. Make sure that your own physical strength is capable of moving the
machine. Use a second person if necessary.
1. Remove the Safety Key and place it in a secure location.
WARNING! When this machine is not in operation, remove the Safety Key and keep out of the reach of children.
2. M ake sure that the power switch is turned Off, and the power cord is disconnected.
3. You must fold the treadmill before you move it. Never move the treadmill if it is not folded.
Never lift the front of the machine for moving or transport. Rotating or moving parts can pinch, resulting in
personal injury.
4. Make sure that there is safe clearance around, on and above your treadmill. Be sure to remove all water bottles,
media devices, or loose items from the machine before moving it.
Be sure there is adequate height clearance for the raised deck.
5. Press and hold the plastic Deck Release Handle under the end of the right side rail. Using the Support Bar found
below the rear of the walking belt, lift the walking deck and continue to hold the deck handle for the first part of the
fold process (0-15 degrees). Release the Deck Handle and 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. Straighten your legs to lift. 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 treadmill. These parts do not lock in place and can
abruptly move. Injury to you or damage to the machine can occur.

not move. When you do this, keep clear of movement path in case the treadmill lock is not 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.
Do not connect the power cord or try to operate the treadmill in the folded position.
