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 o injury,
use extreme caution while moving the INCLINE
