HOW TO CHANGE THE INCLINE OF THE TREADMILL To vary the intensity of your exercise, the incline of the treadmill can be changed. There are three different incline levels. Before changing the incline, first remove the key and unplug the power cord. Next, fold the treadmill to the storage position (see HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL FOR STORAGE below). Incline Pin To change the incline, remove the incline pins from the incline legs as shown below. Adjust the incline legs to the desired height and fully reinsert the incline pins. Make sure that the incline pins are in the "locked" position shown in the inset drawing. Make sure that both incline pins are inserted from the direction shown. CAUTION: Before using the treadmill, make sure that both incline pins are fully inserted at the same height. Do not use the treadmill with the incline pins removed. After you have adjusted the incline legs, lower the treadmill (see HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE on page 11).

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 storage position in temperatures above 30° C (85° F). 10 Storage Latch Catch Engaged
