HOW TO MOVE THE INCLINE TRAINER
Before moving the INCLINE TRAINER, adjust the
incline to 30% and then unplug the power cord.
Note: It may be necessary to disconnect the CATV
cable and the network wire from the INCLINE
TRAINER, depending on how far the INCLINE
TRAINER will be moved.
Due to the size and weight of the INCLINE
TRAINER, moving it requires two persons. While
one person lifts the indicated end of the INCLINE
TRAINER, firmly hold the handrails and tip the IN-
CLINE TRAINER forward until it rolls on the front
wheels. Carefully move the INCLINE TRAINER to
the desired location and then lower it back to the
level position. Note: Another way to move the IN-
CLINE TRAINER is to have one person stand on
each side of it, lift the frame, and move it on the rear wheels.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the INCLINE TRAINER. Do not
attempt to move the INCLINE TRAINER over uneven surfaces.

8. After the INCLINE TRAINER is placed in the location
where it will be used (refer to HOW TO MOVE THE
INCLINE TRAINER below), make sure that both Rear
Feet (66) and both front Wheels (not shown) rest firmly
on the floor. If the INCLINE TRAINER rocks even
