place the INCLINE TRAINER on a surface that
blocks any air openings. To protect the floor
or carpet from damage, place a mat under the
INCLINE TRAINER.

4. Keep the INCLINE TRAINER indoors, away
from moisture and dust. Do not place the IN­CLINE TRAINER in a garage or covered patio,

ASSEMBLY

ssembly requires two persons.Set the INCLINE TRAINER in a cleared area and remove all packing materials.

A
Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using a 3/8”
hex key, 7/32” hex key and a phillips screwdriver.

For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags,

heck to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for

c
assembly.

1. Place the Uprights (93) near the front of the Base Frame
(56) as shown.

Locate the wire in the Base Frame (56) and the wire in
the right Upright (93). Plug both wires into one of the
Wire Adapters (130) as shown in the inset drawing.

Make sure to insert the connectors properly; the
connectors should slide easily and snap into place. If

a connector does not slide easily and snap into place,
turn it and then insert it. IF THE CONNECTORS ARE

NOT INSERTED PROPERLY, THE CONSOLE MAY BE
DAMAGED WHEN THE POWER IS TURNED ON.

Next, slide the Uprights (93) onto the Base Frame (56),
and align the holes in the Uprights with the holes in the
Base Frame. Be careful to avoid pinching the wires.
Finger tighten two Side Base Bolts (95) through the
bracket near the right Upright and into the Base Frame;

do not tighten the Side Base Bolts yet.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE

If your INCLINE TRAINER has the Workout TV con­sole, a CATV cable must be connected to the IN-

CLINE TRAINER for cable TV stations to be viewed.

Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the INCLINE
TRAINER.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack (in the UK use
a PAL adapter [not
included]). Route
the cable so that it
will not be pinched or crushed by the lift mechanism or
the frame.

A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the INCLINE TRAINER. Connect a CATV
cable from the coaxial output on your equipment (usu­ally labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on
the front of the INCLINE TRAINER.

Cable Jack

Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly. RF modulators are
not available from FreeMotion Fitness, but are avail­able at electronics stores. See the owner's manual for
the equipment you wish to connect to determine if an
RF modulator is needed, or contact your local audio/vi­sual service provider.
