Schwinn 810 Treadmill Quick Start Manual - Page 13

Keep clear of the movement path of the walking deck. 4. The hydraulic lift is set up to drop lightly. Hold onto the walking deck until approximately 2/3 of the movement down. Make sure that you use proper lifting technique; bend your knees and keep your back straight. The walking deck can possibly drop quickly in the last part of the movement. Leveling the Machine The machine needs to be leveled if your workout area is uneven. To adjust: 1. Place the machine in your workout area. 2. Adjust the levelers until they all contact the floor. Do not adjust the levelers to such a height that they detach or unscrew from the machine. Injury to you or damage to the machine can occur. 3. Adjust until the machine is level. Make sure the machine is level and stable before you exercise. Treadmill Belt Your treadmill comes equipped with a durable, high quality walking belt designed to provide many hours of reliable service. The walking belt on a treadmill that has not been operated for a length of time, either in factory packaging or after assembly, can exhibit a "thumping" noise when started. This is due to the belt taking on the curve of the front and rear rollers. This is a common occurrence and does not indicate a problem with your machine. After the treadmill has been used for a short period of time the thumping noise will discontinue. The amount of time will vary depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment where the treadmill is placed. 13
