Carl Lewis 566 Treadmill Instructions
The Carl Lewis 566 treadmill is a motorized, folding treadmill with basic programming features. It has a 1.75 horsepower motor that supports speeds up to 16 kph, or 10 mph. You can manually incline the running deck to two different positions. The console features quick-set speed buttons, six built-in workout programs and one manual program.
