rather than with your back. Raise the frame about halfway to the vertical position.

Slowly release the latch knob. Make sure that the latch pin is fully inserted between the frame and the foot rail.

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 85° Fahrenheit.
