Planning Ahead: Preparation is Key
Before you start moving your Peloton treadmill, it’s crucial to plan ahead to avoid any hiccups. Here’s what you need to do:
- Gather Equipment: You’ll need a few tools to safely move your treadmill, including a wrench, Allen keys, and a moving dolly.
- Clear a Path: Make sure there’s a clear path from your treadmill’s current location to its new location, removing any obstacles or furniture.
- Disconnect Power and Cables: Unplug the treadmill and disconnect all cables, such as the power cord and the tablet cord.
- Remove Safety Key: Locate the safety key and remove it from the treadmill.
Step 1: Disassemble the Handlebars
Start by loosening the bolts that secure the handlebars to the treadmill’s base using an Allen key. Once the bolts are loose, carefully lift the handlebars off the base and set them aside.
Step 2: Remove the Side Rails
Next, remove the side rails by unscrewing the bolts that hold them in place. Lift the side rails off the treadmill and set them aside along with the handlebars.
Step 3: Lower the Treadmill Deck
Locate the hydraulic lever on the side of the treadmill and pull it up to release the pressure on the treadmill deck. Slowly lower the deck to the ground.
Step 4: Secure the Treadmill Deck
Once the deck is lowered, secure it by tightening the bolts on the hydraulic lever. This will prevent the deck from moving during transportation.
Step 5: Load onto Moving Dolly
Carefully lift the treadmill onto the moving dolly. Make sure the treadmill is balanced and secure on the dolly.
Step 6: Transport to New Location
Transport the treadmill to its new location using the moving dolly. Be careful to navigate stairs or uneven surfaces slowly and carefully.
Step 7: Reassemble the Treadmill
Once you’ve reached the new location, reassemble the treadmill by reversing the disassembly steps. Secure the side rails, handlebars, and tablet cord.
Safety Precautions: Stay Protected
- Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and closed-toe shoes.
- Lift with your legs, not your back, to avoid injury.
- If you’re moving the treadmill by yourself, use a moving dolly or enlist the help of a friend.
- Do not attempt to lift the treadmill by the tablet or screen.
Troubleshooting: Common Issues and Solutions
- Treadmill won’t lower: Check if the hydraulic lever is fully released. If it is, try gently pushing down on the treadmill deck to release any tension.
- Treadmill is unstable on dolly: Make sure the treadmill is balanced and secure on the dolly. Adjust the position of the dolly or add weight to stabilize it.
- Safety key is missing: Contact Peloton support for a replacement safety key.
