ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dis- pose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Tools required for assembly: The included allen wrench and your phillips screwdriver and two adjustable wrenches .

1. Attach six Base Pads (73) to the bottom of the Base (75) in the indicated locations (see the inset drawing). Note: One additional Base Pad will be used in assembly step 6, and one extra Base Pad is included.

2. Firmly hold the Uprights (11, 58) as shown. Raise the Uprights until the Base (75) and the front Wheels (74) are resting on the floor.

3. Loosen the Crossbar Bolts (2) in the ends of the Console Crossbar (17). Pivot the Console (6) to the angle shown. Look under the Left and Right Crossbar Brackets (4, 51) and find the two small holes in each end of the Console Crossbar (17). Tighten Crossbar Screws (9) into all four holes.

Rotate the Console (6) upward until it stops. Using the 7/32” end of the Allen Wrench (56), tighten the Crossbar Bolts (2) in the ends of the Console Crossbar (17).

4. Next, the treadmill should be raised to the storage position. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown at the right. To decrease the possibility of in-

jury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the treadmill, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise the treadmill about

halfway to the vertical position.

5. Move your right hand to the position shown at the right,

and hold the treadmill firmly. Using your left hand, lift the storage latch. Raise the treadmill until the locking pin snaps into the storage latch. Make sure that the locking

pin is inside the storage latch, and that the storage latch is fully closed.

6. See drawing 6B. Attach a Base Pad (73) to the bottom of

the Stabilizer Plate (88) in the indicated location. See drawing 6A. Stand behind the treadmill. Hold the Left

Crossbar Bracket (4) and the Right Crossbar Bracket (not shown). Place one foot on the Base (75) in the indicated location.Tip the treadmill back slightly. While the treadmill is held in this position, a second person should slide the Stabilizer Plate (88) onto the Base (see drawing 6C). Keeping your foot on the Base, carefully tip the treadmill up until it is resting on the Base. Make sure that the Stabilizer Plate (88) stays on the Base.

See drawing 6C. Attach the Stabilizer Plate (88) to the Base (75) with a Stabilizer Plate Bolt (105), two Washers (97), and the Stabilizer Plate

Nut (95) as shown.

Before moving the treadmill, see HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 11.

7. Refer to assembly drawing 5 at the top of this page. Hold

the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand as shown. Using your left hand, lift the storage latch. Pivot the treadmill slightly until the locking pin is out of the storage latch.

Hold the treadmill firmly with both hands, and lower the treadmill to the floor. To decrease the possibility of in-

jury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.

8. Remove the paper backing from the Adhesive Clip (44). Press the Adhesive Clip onto the Frame (84) in the indicated location. Press the Allen Wrench (57) into the Adhesive Clip. The use of the Allen Wrench is described on page 13.
