HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL

HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Before folding the treadmill, unplug the power cord.
Caution: You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20
kg) in order 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 treadmill, make sure to lift with your legs rather
than your back. Raise the treadmill 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 storage latch
outward. Raise the treadmill until the storage latch snaps
into the catch. Make sure that the storage latch is
inside the catch.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a
mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of
direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor-
age 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
storage latch is inside the catch.
1. Hold the handrails. Place one foot on the base as shown.
2. Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the front wheels.
Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location. Never
move the treadmill without tipping it back, or the base
pads may come off. To reduce the risk of injury, use
extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do not at-
tempt to move the treadmill over an uneven surface.
3. Place one foot on the base, and carefully lower the tread-
mill until it is resting in the storage position.
HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE
1. Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand as
shown. Using your left hand, pull the storage latch out-
ward. Pivot the treadmill until the storage latch is out of
the catch.
2. See the drawing at the top of the page. Hold the treadmill
firmly with both hands, and lower the treadmill to the floor.
To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs
and keep your back straight.
