SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Thank you for purchasing our product. Even though we go to great efforts to ensure the quality of each
product we produce, occasional errors and /or omissions do occur. In any event should you find this product

replaced with a new part from the manufacturer.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

This manual is designed to help you easily assemble, adjust and use this machine. Please read this manual
carefully. For the sake of familiarizing yourself with the parts identified in the instruction, first study the overview
drawing.

Set all parts in a clear area on the floor and remove the packing material. Refer to the parts list for help to identify
the parts.

It will take two people to assemble your unit.
Ensure all bolts are firmly tightened after each step.

STEP 1: CONSOLE MAST ASSEMBLY

1. Locate the Console Mast (10) and Console Mast Cover (41) and slide the Cover onto the Mast as far as it will

go. Make sure the Console Mast Cover (41) is facing the correct way.

2. At the top opening of the Main Frame (1) of the elliptical is a Computer Cable (32). Unravel and straighten out

the Computer Cable (32) and feed it into the bottom of the console mast tube (10) and out of the top opening.

3. Install the Console Mast (10) into the receiving bracket in the top of the Main Frame (1).

Put the 4pcs of 5/16"x 23 x1.5T Flat Washers (97) onto the 4pcs of 5/16" x 15m/m Hex Head Bolts (70) and
the 2pcs of 5/16” x 23 x 2T Curved Washers (102) onto the 2pcs of 5/16" x 15m/m Hex Head Bolts (70). Install
and hand tighten by using the 12m/m Wrench (110).
NOTE: There is a electrical wire running through the Console Mast Tube (10). Be careful not to damage or
pinch this Computer Cable (32) during this procedure.

4. Locate the Console (31) and the 4 pcs of M5 x 10m/m Phillips Head Screws (78) by using the Combination
M5 Allen Wrench & Phillips Head Screw Driver (108).

5. There will be three electrical wire connectors at the top opening of the Console Mast (10), two 2 pin Hand

pulse Cables (37-3), one Computer Cable (32). Connect these to the mating connectors on the back of the
Console (31). The connectors are keyed so you cannot plug them in the wrong way so do not force them. The 2
pin Hand pulse Cables are both the same. It does not matter how you connect them.

6. Store the excess wire back into the Console Mast (10), carefully install the Console (31) onto the mounting

plate of Console Mast (10) and secure using the 4 pcs of M5 x 10m/m Phillips Head Screws (78).
