GlideTrak™
Assembly Instructions

1. The GlideTrak should be
assembled in the room where you
will use your treadmill and
GlideTrak. Remove all GlideTrak
parts from the box and lay them
out onto your floor space. Remove
all packaging materials from each
part to prepare for assembly.

2. Refer to the Parts Identification
Pages (pgs. 23-26) to identify

each part. The photographs also
indicate the side of the part that

should face upwards to make
assembly as easy as possible.

Lay the parts on the floor as
shown in the Parts Identification
Guide (pgs. 23-26).

12. Once sections A through D are joined, you will have two sections of the GlideTrak frame as shown in
Photo 6.

13. Slide the two sections together,

aligning stickers E to E and F to F.

The Frame Base will be assembled as
shown in Photo 7 Frame Base. It may
help to unlock the brakes on one
section before sliding the two sections
together. Once in place, re-lock the
brakes.

14. Once the frame is together, place and
tighten Barrel Bolts at E and F.

(Note: If basket pins were ordered, do not
use pins to connect base parts EE, FF or
GG. Only use Barrel Bolts to connect
base leg parts EE, FF, and GG)

15. The Top Bar of the GlideTrak has 2 parts, a Curved Top Bar (for the front) and an Angled Top
Bar for the rear portion of the bar. (Photo 8 below, and Parts Identification Guide Photo 8 and
Photo 9, pg. 25). Join the two parts of the Top Bar joining the ends marked G and G. Secure the
Top Bar with a Barrel Bolt. (Photo 5 and 8).

16. The ends of the Top Bar will join the Front and Back Mid-section posts. Attach the ends of the
Curved (front) Top Bar by joining I to I, and attach the Angled Top Bar in the rear by joining

H to H. (Photos 6 and 8) Align and insert Barrel Bolts into the Top Bar as shown previously in
Photo 5.

17. Tighten all in the frame with Allen wrenches to complete your frame assembly. (Photo 8).

18. Move the GlideTrak frame and center it over your treadmill. (If you wish, you may unlock the

wheels to move the frame; however, make sure that Wheels are re-locked after the GlideTrak is
in place).

Now you are ready to assemble the Seat Assembly.

19. SEAT ASSEMBLY: Cut away any wrapping and plastic ties from the Seat Assembly. The

Seat Assembly Includes the Back Straps, Seat Post, Adjustment Rod, Hip Post, Hip Pad and
Front Straps. (Photo 8)

When you take it out of the box, the assembly will be in 2 parts. One piece is the bulk of
the Seat Assembly. The second piece is the Seat Pad with attached Seat Screws. To
complete the Seat Assembly, you only need to reattach the Seat Pad. You will need one
Phillips-head screwdriver for this task.

20. To reattach the Seat: Remove the 2 screws
and 2 washers from the back of the Seat Pad.

21, Insert the front of the Wire

Loop of the Seat
Assembly into the Wire
Slot on the back of the
Seat Pad.
