HOW TO FOLD AND MOVE THE TREADMILL

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 per- manently damaged. Next, 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 metal frame firmly in the location shown by the arrow at the right. CAUTION: To decrease the possibility of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic foot rails. To raise the frame, bend your legs, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs. Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.

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 frame until the hole in the isola- tor is aligned with the latch pin, and then slowly release the latch knob. Make sure that the frame is held securely by the latch pin, as shown.

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 30° C (85° F).

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, convert it to the storage position as described above. Make sure that the pin on the latch knob is resting securely against the catch.

1.Hold one of the handrails and place your other hand on the deck. Place one foot against one of the wheels.

2.Tilt the treadmill back until it rolls freely on the wheels. Carefully move the treadmill to the desired location. To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do not move the treadmill over an uneven surface.

3.Place one foot against one of the wheels, and carefully lower the treadmill until it is resting in the storage position.
