My first experience with a treadmill & I can't get on it without falling! What am I doing wrong? Please help.- Nancy Drew

Perhaps the slope is too steep. I put a one-inch thick book under each of the lower legs to lessen the slope. Also be sure to grab hold of the handlebars as you step on. Finally, if the problem is the treadmill rubber mat moving too quickly, perhaps you've put too much oil underneath it and you need to wipe some of it off. Hope these ideas help.

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

Use the allen wrench included (or one that will fit) and insert in the hole on the right side rubber non-moving part your foot would go on to exit the treadmill. It is the hole seen at the back right Near the sticker 'Workfit'. Insert wrench in hole and make a quarter turn the opposite direction the track is over too much on. For ex, if the track is too far to the left with a 1/2 inch gap on the right, insert allen wrench in the hole and make a quarter turn to the right and speed up the track to 1.5 speed. Wait for approx 10 min and if more adjustment is needed, make quarter turns at a time until you are satisfied.

I"m sorry not to be of help, but I was unable to get my pedometer to work. This may well be because I am not good with technology. Sorry Shelby

It looks like this thread died. Does anyone out there have suggestions on how to deflate and roll this? I'm a single female weighing about 130 pounds and I've had no success. I have sat on it, stood on it, lain on it, squeezed it, put cement blocks on the ends... nothing is working. Help!

Two things. Either the belt need adjusting as with all treadmills. See manual. Or the belt motor is starting to fail. Covered by most warranties.

Hi Kelly. I have the same treadmill with no problems. I'm guessing the motor is defective. I say this because I use mine every other day for about an hour with out fail. I would recommend you let Amazon and the seller know your issue. They will send someone out to pick up your treadmill and will deliver you a new one. I hope this helps. ~Pete~

Be aware it's a heavy treadmill like most high quality running units, so even though it has wheels unless your on concrete or wood floor they sink into the carpet. It's almost easier to pull the treadmill where you need it to go vs. trying to push through a door since view will be obstructed. Not something i would want to move around on a daily basis.

Susan, No, there is no surface. This was a lot of fun and didn't take up too much space. I enjoyed it so much, and the quiet was wonderful, whereas I had to have TV ears to hear over the treadmill motor. Unfortunately, I must return it. I stayed on for forty minutes and sprained my right ankle so badly with the motion, that I cannot use this form of excersize. Probably just me. I already had a problem with that ankle. This just did it in. Don't let that discourage you. Joyk

It's fully dependent on how fast you're running on the treadmill I find everything is more difficult, but honestly my eyes not as sharp as they once were, so running non-treadmill is ok, because you just slow your pace while distracted.

I am disabled and live on a second floor with no elevator. I have tripped twice going down and it is scary. Coming up is a dream but you feel the weight of it. You have to hang on to something, railing, so you don't fall backwards. Still, this is the best I have found out there. Give it a try. Maybe you can do better than me. Let me know! Good luck!

Have you considered a rebounder? Check them out. Especially one with a stability bar - no worries about weather, you can use it any time, it's MUCH more fun than a treadmill...I've worked my way to spending 40 minutes per day on it, and there are videos you can buy to actually do a routine on it.

I am not all that coordinated and have had no problems. It will take a few times to get the steps down, but once you do the will become second nature. This is by far my favorite workout and the best one I have found that works my entire body. Enjoy and have fun!

I do not have this problem, but there are two tension adjustment rollers to fix your issue. They are at the rear of the unit and require the large hex key that was supplied with the treadmill. You should read the manual to see how to do this adjustment. I hope this helps.

The owners manual for 9.27 indicates the following: Do not use treadmill if weight over 500 pounds. Do not run on treadmill if weight over 350 pounds.

IMO, A small child could not cause the treadmill to tip over. It's too heavy with a low center of gravity. The child could possibly grab the deck release lever and lower the deck but the deck lowering would be very gradual. I still believe that a small child climbing on the folded treadmill would be dangerous and could possibly also damage the folding mechanism. The best solution is not to permit access to the treadmill by small children whether it is folded or unfolded. It's not designed for a child to climb on and I can think of several ways a child could easily get hurt.

I am 5'1" and use the TrekDesk. I was meticulous in measuring the lowest height of the trekdesk (from scematics on their website) and then checking the height of the treadmill panels before I bought a treadmill. The bottom of my treadmill panel is just below the lip of the desk. Also, I put a rubber mat under the treadmill to raise it up a bit. They recommend that anyway in case of oil leak.Mine works fine. After a few tens of times of jumping on and off I have to adjust the belt.

It is the sorriest treadmill I have ever owned. It came shipped with broken magnets; which I did agree to fix myself but I could not. All our attempts to fix it have just failed. So if I were you, if the tread does not work like you need, send it back!
