HOW TO MOVE THE INCLINE TRAINER

Before moving the incline trainer, unplug the power
cord. Note: It may be necessary to disconnect a CATV

cable and a network wire from the incline trainer, depending
on how far the incline trainer will be moved.

Due to the size and weight of the incline trainer, moving
it requires two or three persons. Hold the metal frame

rmly in the location shown at the right. CAUTION:

To decrease the possibility of damage to the incline
trainer or of injury, do not lift the frame by the front
cover. Carefully roll the incline trainer on the wheels to the

desired location and then lower it back to the level position.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme cau­tion while moving the incline trainer. Do not attempt to
move the incline trainer over uneven surfaces.

HOW TO CONNECT THE INCLINE TRAINER

the CATV cable

DANGER: Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor increases
the risk of electric shock. Check with a quali-

ed electrician or serviceman if you are unsure

whether the product is properly grounded. Do

not modify the plug—if it will not t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied

electrician. Do not use an adapter to connect
the plug to an improper receptacle.

Cable (130). Route
the cable so that it
will not be pinched
or crushed by the
incline trainer.
Press the Upright
Cover (114) onto
the lower end of
the Upright (93)
until the Upright Cover snaps into place.

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec­tric shock.

This product is for use on a dedicated, 20-amp,
120-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. This product has a cord with an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20
receptacle. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle.
Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an exten­sion cord. The receptacle must be grounded.

NEMA 5-20

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE

If your incline trainer has the 17" Digital TV, a

CATV cable must be connected to the incline trainer
for cable TV stations to be viewed.

Lift the Upright Cover (114) upward and locate the
cable jack on the front of the incline trainer. Connect

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.

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.
