How to Disassemble the Sole F63 Treadmill for Moving

Recently I’ve received a few emails in regards to how to disassemble the Sole F63 treadmill for moving. One of the most popular treadmills on the market. The F63 is an incredibly well built machine (with a great warranty to match) at a friendly price point. And because the treadmill lasts as long as it does, many people find themselves needing to move the treadmill at some point. But without any specific disassembly instructions, a lot of people are left to tackle it alone. So to better help everyone, I’ve revered the official assembly instructions, providing images with numbered corresponding parts to make it easier.
