We, DH and I, had that problem too so DH added small wooden blocks (~2inches) on top of the metal cast iron treadle legs. He lifted the wooden cabinet part that way making more leg space. He also put the treadle on casters to protect the floor but this lifted it another 1 inch or so. Because of this though you would need to buy a treadle belt that is custom cut in lenght off a roll. The prepackaged ones would be too short.
Another option would be to use a small wooden kitchen table, add the cast iron treadle base under it, cut a hole in the top of the table and treadle that way. That way you do not have the storage tray in the way of your knees.
