I recently purchased a Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill. It was delivered partially assembled, no surprise there, but, when I unpacked it and went to move the very heavy base assembly to my exercise room I ran into trouble. The treadmill supposedly could be folded and then tilted and rolled on a set of wheels provided for that purpose. Sounds rather simple but I discovered that mine would not fold. Pressing the release bar did not release the catch. I carefully reviewed the manual and found that the treadmill had to be reset to the zero degree elevation point before it could be folded. In looking at the unpacked but as yet unassembled treadmill, I concluded that it came set for zero degrees of elevation. After several unsuccessful attempts to fold it I decide to call Bowflex. They advised that before the treadmill could be folded, a calibration had to be run. This calibration is described in the manual but nowhere does it mention that one must run a calibration cycle before the treadmill can be folded. After moving the various parts to my exercise room and assembling the treadmill I ran a calibration cycle. And, sure enough, I could then successfully fold and unfold the treadmill.
The assembly instructions were quite clear and made the assembly job relatively uneventful. Other than the above little problem, I have been very satisfied with the performance. It is very smooth and quiet, the elevation feature works well and there are a significant number of preprogrammed speed and elevation cycles available to provide a wide variety of workouts.Get more detail about Bowflex Series 7 Treadmill.
