does the incline go automatically or do you have to adjust it manually?

You have to adjust it. I usually just use the programs and that Adjust the tension automatically. I would spend a little more and get a better model. The heart monitor has never been accurate and the steps tend to come off track if you go too hard for to long.

It works fine...not sure what info you need, but it's a pretty steep incline....the progressions are 1-12...I think you can find youtube videos that will show the incline.

Manually, just one incline up. It is great as a walker and jogger. Then tension can be varied, but the incline is either flat or the one incline up.

No, it is manual mechanical adjustment. No automatic height adjustment motors either.

You have to get off the machine to adjust incline. Theres a lever you lift up and hook into a higher slot. It only takes a second. You can adjust the "level" through computer eithout stopping. I find that I usually leave the incline in the middle and its perfect

It does not. You can adjust it manually (tilt, side to side, up and down), not remotely though.

You have to manually tilt it into the position you want. It is a very easy (push button) step). Hope this helps!

There are two settings on the back legs that easily change the incline. In addition, there is a strap at the back that lowers the head when undone. I have been able to adjust all settings while the baby is in the chair and he's a hefty 20 pounds.

There are no incline options once assembled . This is the perfect incline , gives that "uphill" feeling and you can do long strides to really stretch . Still very pleased with my purchase.

I don't think it does. Mine is a 5-6 inch incline all the time. The treadles on mine don't go up and down more than an inch so it's always at an incline. If I "loosen" them up, they kinda go down with a thud every step which is very annoying, hence keeping them on the tightest setting. I have to say, it's the easiest aerobic workout that really works. You don't have to walk fast, just a steady pace...what ever you are comfortable with. If walking up a wheelchair ramp hurts your back, (the treadclimber is about the same incline) then this is not the machine for you.

the incline is manual. a knob at the base by the rear of the platform will allow you to adjust to three levels. its very slight at its highest point.

Yes, the motorized incline is really nice. I like to adjust as am building up endurance.

I don't think you can get it flat like a treadmill - there are manual dials on both sides that you adjust to a min up to a max incline (like shocks on a car). I have mine at min right now and there is still an incline that I would guess is similar to walking up stairs....

No it does not. You have to hold on to the upward hand rails which can be a strain on the shoulder and elbows. I do not stay in an incline position for more then two minutes because of that.

you keep cranking it open and it will auto tilt, mine does it on its own now :-/

The incline is a manual adjustment, so must be set before your workout. I think there are only 2-3 setting, but don't know the inclines degrees. This is a feature that I don't use, as I prefer it to be level.

there IS a tension control knob that works really well, as far as I can tell. when you ask if it can move by gravity alone do you mean when its positioned for vertical movement? i assume you could put a little tension in it and let it fall slowly with gravity, but controlling it manually would still be more precise. when i tried it just now, it did move down, but not at a consistent rate of movement. so i'd suggest just doing it manually. and can it ease in and out at the ends? again, only manually. there is no automated speed control.
