HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE
Before folding the treadmill, adjust the incline to the lowest position. If this is not done, the treadmill may be permanently 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 with your hands in the locations shown at the right. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of in- jury, 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. Hold the lock knob with your left hand and pull it to the left. Raise the treadmill until the lock knob is aligned with the slot in the catch. (Note: You may need to push the handrail to the side slightly.) Slowly release the lock knob. Make sure that the pin on the lock knob is inserted into the slot.
To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sunlight. Do not leave the treadmill in the stor- age position in temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.
