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 the incline is not at the lowest position, the treadmill will 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 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.

Do not hold here

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

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.
