TURNING THE WALKING PLATFORM

Both sides of the walking platform are designed to be used as walking surfaces. Inspect the walking platform

periodically for wear. If there is any wood showing through the phenolic coating, or if the surface is damaged, the

walking platform should be turned over. The walking platform will need to be turned over and the walking belt

replaced (see page 31) after every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 kilometers). Follow the instructions

below to turn over the walking platform.

1. Remove the key and unplug

the power cord. Remove the

#8 x 3/4" Screws (16), #8 x 1/2"

Washer Head Machine Screws

(2), and the Front Cover (17).

Remove the 3/8" x 5" Screw (19)

and the 3/8" Star Washer (14)

from each side of the Front Roller

(13).

2. Remove the four 3/8" x 1 3/4"

Screws (10) and the two 3/8" x 1

1/2" Screws (20). (Note: Be very

careful to avoid chipping or

damaging the phenolic coating

on the Walking Platform [23].)

Lift the Front Roller (13) and slide

it out of the Walking Belt (18).

Lift the Walking Platform and

the Walking Belt to the position

shown by the dotted lines. Slide

the Walking Platform out of the

Walking Belt, turn it, and then slide

it back into the Walking Belt.

3. Lay down the Walking Platform (23) and the Walking Belt (18). Slide the Front Roller (13) back into the

Walking Belt.

4. Reattach the 3/8" x 1 3/4" Screws (10) and the 3/8" x 1 1/2" Screws (20). Thread the 3/8" x 5" Screws (19)

with the 3/8" Star Washers (14) into the Front Roller (13). Reattach the Front Cover (17) with the #8 x 3/4"

Screws (16) and #8 x 1/2" Washer Head Machine Screws (2).

5. Next, the Walking Belt (18) will need to be adjusted to the

proper tension. Using chalk, make two marks on the Walking

Belt exactly 1.25 m (50 in.) apart, as shown in the drawing.

Tighten both 3/8" x 5" Screws (19, see the drawing above)

until the two chalk marks move apart an additional 5 to 6

mm (3/16 to 1/4 in.). As you tighten the 3/8" x 5" Screws, the

Front Roller (13) will move. If the Front Roller stops mov-

ing, do not further tighten the Screws; please see the

back cover of this manual. Make sure to keep the Walking

Belt centered.
