Equipment Overview: Preparation for Use
The Series 2000 Treadmill ships preset with an approximate 2% grade.
This slight elevation provides for free wheel movement and prevents the
shroud from scraping the floor.
127( Assembly and Technical specifications describing the equipment
can be found in the "Series 20000 treadmill field service manual,"
PN 409110-004.
If you are moving the treadmill after it has been in operation, use the
controlling equipment to set the grade to approximately 7%. Then
remove power and disconnect all cables to the treadmill before moving
the unit.
Follow the steps below to move the treadmill. We recommend that two
people work together since the treadmill may be too heavy for some
individuals to lift and lower safely.
1. Lift the end of the bed assembly to about knee height, keeping knees
bent and backs straight as you lift.
2. Rotate the treadmill in the direction you want to go (the treadmill
will pivot on its wheels) and push forward.
3. When you have maneuvered the treadmill into its new location,
gently lower the end of the bed assembly to the floor.
