Moving And Storing The Machine - Bowflex BXT8J Service 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. Before the machine can be moved, inspect the Walking Deck to be sure the Incline setting is at "0". If necessary, adjust the Incline setting to "0".
Be sure the area below the machine is clear before adjusting the incline of the Deck. Fully lower the incline of the Deck after each
workout.
2. Remove the Safety Key and place it in a secure location.
When this machine is not in operation, remove the Safety Key and keep out of the reach of children.
3. Make sure that the power switch is turned Off, and the power cord is disconnected.
4. You must fold the treadmill before you move it. Never move the treadmill if it is not folded.
Never move the machine with the Walking Deck not folded. Rotating or moving parts can pinch, resulting in personal injury.
5. Make sure that there is safe clearance around, on and above your treadmill. Make sure there is no object to spill or cause blockage from the fully
folded position.
Be sure there is adequate height clearance for the raised deck.
6. Using the support bar found below the rear of the walking belt, lift the walking deck fully upward and engage the hydraulic lift. Be sure that the
hydraulic lift is correctly locked in place.
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.
