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 you do not do this, you may damage the treadmill when you fold it. Next, unplug the power cord. CAUTION: You must be able to safely lift 45 lbs. (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 pos- sibility of injury, do not lift the frame by the plastic foot rails. Bend your legs and keep your back straight as you raise the frame—do not lift with your back. 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 catch is past the latch pin. Then, slowly release the latch knob; make sure that the catch is resting against the latch pin.

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 stor- age position in temperatures above 85°F (30°C).

HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL

Before moving the treadmill, convert the treadmill to the stor- age position as described above. Make sure that the catch is resting against the latch pin.

1.Hold the handrails and place one foot against one of the wheels. Do not pull back on the frame.

2.Tilt the treadmill backward until it rolls freely on the wheels, and carefully move the treadmill to the desired location.

Never move the treadmill without tipping it backward. To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the treadmill. Do not attempt to move the treadmill over an uneven surface.

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