ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly can be completed using a 3/8" hex
ey, a 7/32" hex key, and a Phillips screwdriver.
k
For help identifying assembly hardware, see the drawings below. Note: If a part is not found in the part bags,
check to see if the part has been preattached. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools
for assembly.
1. Place the Uprights (93) near the front of the Base Frame
(56) as shown.
Connect the indicated wires on the right side of the
treadmill. See the inset drawing. The connectors
should slide together easily and snap into place. If
they do not, turn one connector and try again. IF THE
CONNECTORS ARE NOT INSERTED PROPERLY,
THE CONSOLE MAY BE DAMAGED WHEN THE
POWER IS TURNED ON.
Insert the excess wire into the indicated hole in the
Uprights (93).

Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the treadmill.
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 treadmill. 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 treadmill.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require
an RF modulator to work correctly with the treadmill.
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.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The Basic console offers an impressive array of features designed to help you get the greatest benefits
from your exercise.
When the QUICK START mode is selected, the speed

that adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill to
keep your heart rate near target levels during your
workouts, and three unique FITNESS TEST programs
that measure your relative fitness level. Note: The
HEART RATE programs and the FITNESS TEST pro-
®
grams require the use of a Polar
