Folding up your Peloton treadmill is a breeze once you know the proper steps. Whether you’re short on space or need to move your treadmill for maintenance, this comprehensive guide will empower you to perform this task with ease.
Safety First: Essential Precautions
Before you begin, ensure your safety by following these precautions:
- Unplug the treadmill from the power outlet.
- Allow the treadmill to cool down if it has been recently used.
- Wear sturdy shoes for stability.
Step 1: Unlock and Lower the Handlebars
Locate the handlebars on the front of the treadmill. There should be two levers or knobs, one on each side. Pull or twist these levers to unlock the handlebars. Then, gently lower the handlebars until they reach their lowest position.
Step 2: Release the Safety Latch
On the base of the treadmill, you’ll find a safety latch. This latch prevents the treadmill from folding up accidentally. Locate the latch and pull it towards you to release it.
Step 3: Lift the Deck
Using both hands, grasp the sides of the treadmill deck. Slowly lift the deck upwards until it reaches a 45-degree angle. You may need to exert some force, but be careful not to overexert yourself.
Step 4: Fold the Deck
Once the deck is at a 45-degree angle, gently push it down towards the base of the treadmill. The deck will fold down, resting on top of the base.
Step 5: Secure the Deck
Check that the deck is securely in place by ensuring it is fully folded and the latch is engaged. You should hear a click or feel a positive lock to confirm it is secure.
Step 6: Lock the Handlebars
Return to the handlebars and lift them back into their upright position. Lock the handlebars in place by pushing or twisting the levers or knobs you unlocked earlier.
Step 7: Roll Away the Treadmill
Your Peloton treadmill is now folded up and ready to be rolled away. Use the built-in wheels to move the treadmill to its desired location.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Difficulty lifting the deck: If you’re struggling to lift the deck, check if the safety latch is fully released. Ensure you’re using both hands and applying even force.
- Deck not folding down: Make sure the handlebars are fully lowered and the safety latch is engaged. If the deck still doesn’t fold down, try lifting it slightly higher before pushing it down.
- Latch not engaging: If the latch isn’t engaging properly, inspect it for any debris or damage. Clean the latch if necessary and ensure it is properly aligned.
Final Note: Folding Up Your Peloton Treadmill with Confidence
