The Difference in the Treadles

Each Bowflex® TreadClimber® treadle is a separate treadmill with its own belt and up and down motion, however, both treadles are driven by the same axle and motor. This assures that each belt travels at the same speed. Further, the treadles are interconnected, which provides a balanced relationship between the left and right sides during the workout to give the most cushioned effect to your joints.

You can also lock the treadles on your Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine, stopping the up and down movement of the treadles, but continuing the belt movement, making your Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine function just like any other treadmill. Below you will learn how to turn your TreadClimber® into a Treadmill!

Locking the Treadles for Treadmill Workout

You may lock the right and left treadles together to get a treadmill workout at a

10% incline. This incline will increase your overall calorie burn at a slower speed when compared to a standard treadmill at zero incline.

The TreadClimber® fitness machine is equipped with a treadle-locking lever that can be manipulated with

your foot.

To avoid possible unintended actuations of the treadles with resulting injury, turn off and disconnect all power to machine before locking or unlocking treadles.

1.Turn off all power to the TreadClimber® fitness machine and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

2.Stand on the ground in front of the TreadClimber® fitness machine and push down on the locking mechanism with your foot and move the lever slightly to the right. When you release the lever it should rotate up from the locked position (see Figure 1).

3.Bring the two treadles together until they lock into place. Be careful not to pinch hands and fingers between the two treadles as you bring them together.

4.Insert power cord into the wall outlet and turn on the Main Power Switch. Follow the “Starting a Treadmill Workout” instructions to work out in treadmill mode.

5.To release the treadles, turn off the Main Power switch, unplug the unit from the wall, and push the lever downward and to the left with your foot until it engages (see Figure 2). If the level rotates back up after you release your foot the treadles are still locked.
