Procedure 6.4 - Replacing the Lift Platform

WARNING
Always turn off the circuit breaker and unplug the treadmill before you remove the treadmill hood.
Removing the Lift Platform
1. Turn off the treadmill with the circuit breaker, then unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
2. Place the treadmill on its right side.
Note:
To avoid scratching or marring the treadmill, put a drop cloth underneath the treadmill when you
perform Step 2.
3. Remove the lower bolt and nut that secures the lift motor to the lift platform. It is not
necessary to remove the lift motor when you remove the lift platform.
4. Skip this step on C962i and C964i treadmills. Remove the bolt that connects the actuator
block to the lift platform. (See Diagram 6.3B)
5. Perform this step on C962i and C964i treadmills, only. Remove the nut that retains the lift
potentiometer and remove the lift potentiometer. Remove the coupler that connects the lift
potentiometer to lift platform shaft. Note the orientation of the flat side of the lift platform
shaft. When it is replaced, later in this procedure, it must be remounted in the same
orientation. If the lift shaft is incorrectly oriented the lift system calibration will be incorrect.
Remove the retaining ring from the lift shaft. Use a thin drift punch or similar tool to carefully
drive the pin out of the lift shaft on the left hand (lift potentiometer) side of the lift platform.
Remove the lift shaft. (See Diagram 6.3A)
6. Remove the bolt(s) and nut(s) that secure the lift platform to the treadmill frame. Remove
the lift platform.
