What is it with Men and Directions??




I decided to buy a treadmill with my December jewelry earnings.  It was a very good month. The treadmill was delivered Friday, and Mike put it together Saturday afternoon. This bright pink warning paper was on the velcro strap in plain sight. In essence it states that if you remove the velcro strap before setting the (very heavy- 130 pound) treadmill flat on the ground, the piston mechanism and bars underneath the treadmill deck which allow it to fold up could spring open and cause injury. Which is exactly what happened, throwing Mike against the wall. His pride was the only thing injured, but we cannot get the piston to work properly now and the treadmill will not fold up out of the way. I am able to run on it and will call tech support in the morning:)
