Read the entire Operation Manual before setting up the the treadmill.
FOLDING, MOVING, AND POSITIONING THE TREADMILL
The treadmill can be folded easily by means of a “gas shock” mechanism. Folding the treadmill when it is not in use frees up floor space and makes it easy to move the unit.
Folding the treadmill: When the treadmill is idle, set the incline grade to 0 percent, switch the unit off, and unplug it. Then, with both hands, lift the back end of the treadmill upward until it clicks and locks into place.
Caution: The treadmill must be set to 0% before folding. Damage may occur and the treadmill may not lock into a proper upright position.
Moving and positioning the treadmill: Once the treadmill is folded and locked, simply roll it to the desired location. When positioning the treadmill for use, allow for a clearance area of six feet by four feet behind the treadmill to make it easy to get on and off the treadmill and to adjust the tension of the belt. See the section titled Specifications for the treadmill’s dimensions. Also, make sure to use the treadmill on a firm, level surface.
Note: Occasionally, after extended treadmill use, a fine black dust may accumulate on the floor beneath the unit. This does not indicate that anything is wrong with the treadmill, and the dust can easily be
removed with a vacuum cleaner. To prevent the dust from accumulating on floor, place a mat beneath the unit.
Unfolding the treadmill: Stand directly behind the treadmill. Support the treadmill base with the right hand, and pull and hold the release handle downward with the left hand. The handle is located on the end of the left main frame. Begin lowering the base a short distance. Let go of the release handle and, with both hands, guide the treadmill deck down to unfold it.
Caution: As the treadmill comes closer to the ground, it lowers at a faster rate and feels heavier.
