HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

As you walk on the treadmill, you can either hold the handrails or use the upper body arms. To exercise your arms, shoulders, and back for a total body workout, move the upper body arms forward and back as you walk on the treadmill.

To vary the intensity of your upper body exercise, the resistance of the upper body arms can be adjusted. To increase the resis- tance, turn the resistance knobs clockwise; to decrease the re- sistance, turn the knobs counterclockwise.

HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE

Before folding the treadmill, unplug the power cord. CAUTION:

You must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) to raise, lower, or move the treadmill.

1. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown at the right. To decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the tread- mill, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise the treadmill about halfway to the vertical posi- tion.

2.Move your right hand to the position shown and hold the treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, pull the latch knob to the left and hold it. Raise the treadmill until the latch pin is aligned with the square hole between the frame and the foot rail. Slowly release the latch knob until the latch pin is in- serted into the hole. Make sure that the frame is securely held by the latch pin.

To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill. Keep the treadmill out of direct sun- light. Do not leave the treadmill in the storage position in temperatures above 85° Fahrenheit.
