Unfolding the Treadmill

1.Make sure you have adequate space to lay the treadmill down. There needs to be at least 2 feet of clearance on both sides and in the front of the treadmill. There should be at least 4 feet of clearance on the back side of the treadmill for safety reasons. If the user were to fall this would give adequate clearance to get off the treadmill.

2.Inspect to ensure that nothing is on or near your treadmill that might spill, be knocked over or prevent the treadmill from completely unfolding.

3.Position yourself behind the treadmill. Slightly push the treadmill forward towards the display and with you left foot lightly push the top portion of the hydraulic lift forward till the locking tube frees and the treadmill can be pulled back away from the console.

4.The hydraulic lift is set up to drop softly without assistance. It is not a bad idea to hold onto the treadmill until it is about 2/3 of the way down. Make sure that you use proper lifting technique, bending your knees and keeping your back straight.
