HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE

Before folding the treadmill, adjust the incline to the lowest position. If the incline is not at the lowest position, the treadmill will be damaged. Next, unplug the power cord. Caution: You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in order to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

1.Hold the treadmill as shown at the right. Caution: To avoid pinching your hands, do not hold the treadmill in the locations indicated by the arrows. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the treadmill, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise the treadmill about halfway to the vertical position.

2.Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the treadmill firmly. Raise the treadmill until the storage latch closes over the frame guide. Make sure that the storage latch closes fully over the frame guide.

To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of di- rect sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage position in temperatures above 85¡ Fahrenheit.

THE WOODGRAIN-FINISH COVER PANEL

When the treadmill is in the storage position, the woodgrain- finished cover panel will accent your room. If desired, the cover panel can be removed to display the black-finished frame cover instead. To remove the cover panel, simply in- sert your fingers between the lower end of the cover panel and the frame cover (see the arrow at the right). Pull the cover panel off the panel fasteners, working your way up until the cover panel is removed.

After the cover panel is removed, the panel fasteners can be removed for a cleaner appearance. Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove one of the panel screws and panel fasteners from the frame cover. Tighten the panel screw back into the frame cover. Repeat this process, removing one panel fastener at a time, until all six panel fasteners are removed. Press the removed panel fasteners onto the fasteners on the back of the cover panel. Store the cover panel away from moisture and dust.
