Tools You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following tools:
- Allen wrenches (included with the treadmill)
- Screwdriver
- Pliers
- Adjustable wrench

- Moving blankets
Step-by-Step Disassembly
1. Unplug the Treadmill and Remove the Handlebars
Start by unplugging the treadmill from the power outlet. Next, remove the handlebars by unscrewing the bolts that attach them to the frame.
2. Detach the Console
Locate the console and disconnect the cables that connect it to the treadmill. Remove the screws that secure the console to the frame and gently lift it off.
3. Remove the Running Belt
Use the Allen wrenches to loosen the bolts on the side of the treadmill that hold the running belt in place. Slide the belt off the rollers and set it aside.
4. Disconnect the Motor
Locate the motor at the back of the treadmill and disconnect the electrical cables connected to it. Use the adjustable wrench to remove the bolts that secure the motor to the frame.
5. Remove the Base
Flip the treadmill upside down and remove the bolts that connect the base to the frame. Carefully lift the base off the frame.
6. Remove the Side Rails
Unscrew the bolts that attach the side rails to the frame. Gently lift the side rails off the frame.
7. Remove the Frame
The frame is now the only component left. If it is too heavy to move as a whole, you can disassemble it further by removing the bolts that connect the front and back sections.
Reassembly Tips
Once you’ve moved the treadmill to its new location, you can reassemble it following the steps in reverse order. Here are some tips:
- Use zip ties or bungee cords to secure the electrical cables during transport.
- Wrap the running belt in moving blankets to protect it from damage.
- Lubricate the bolts and screws before reassembly to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
