Place the treadmill on a level surface. There should be 7 feet of clearance behind the treadmill, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for folding and
the power cord. Do not place the treadmill in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The treadmill should not be located in a garage, covered
patio, near water or outdoors. It is essential that your treadmill is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your treadmill has been exposed to
colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that the treadmills is warmed up to room temperature before first time use.
Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.

Make sure the deck is securely latched before letting go. To unfold, firmly
grasp the back end of the treadmill. Gently press down on the foot lock
latch (A or B) with your foot until the lock latch disengages or pull the
deck lock pin to release the deck. Carefully lower the deck to the ground.

Your treadmill has 2 transport wheels* built into the frame. To move,
make sure the treadmill is folded and securely latched. Then firmly grasp
the handlebars, tilt the treadmill back and roll. *Some treadmills have 4
transport wheels and 2 wheel locks that must be released before moving.
To unlock wheels, push down on the top lever of the rear wheel locks
located on the rear corners of the base frame. Then firmly grasp the
handlebars, and slowly move the treadmill. After moving to the desired
location, push down on the bottom lever of the rear wheel locks to lock
the rear wheels. NOTE: Both rear wheel locks must be locked before

Your treadmill should be level for optimum use. Once you have placed
your treadmill where you intend to use it, raise or lower one or both of
the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of the treadmill frame*.
A carpenter's level is recommended. If your treadmill is not level, the
running belt may not track properly. Once you have leveled your
treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tightening the nuts against the
frame.
