dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrench
and your own phillips screwdriver _ and wire cutters _ _. " "_
Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal
condition and does not affect treadmill performance, tf there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (69) until the treadmill is in the position shown.
Refer to the inset drawing. Insert one of the Extension
Legs (102) into the treadmill as shown. Make sure that
the Extension Leg is turned so the Base Pad (99) is on
the bottom. Note: It may be helpful to tip the Uprights
(69) forward as you insert the Extension Leg.
Insert the other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same
way.
2. Press the Lock Knob Sleeve (70) into the left Upright (69).
Remove the Lock Knob (68) from the Lock Pin (74). Make
sure that the Lock Pin Collar (72) and the Spring (71) are
on the Lock Pin. Insert the Lock Pin into the Lock Knob
Sleeve (70) and the left Upright (69). Next, press the Lock
Knob Spacer (35) onto the left Upright. Tighten the Lock
Knob (68) back onto the Lock Pin.
3. With the help of a second person, carefully tip the
Uprights (69) down as shown. Make sure that the
Extension Legs (102) remain in the Uprights,
Attach each Extension Leg (102) with two 3/4" Screws
(100) as shown.
With the help of a second person, carefully tip the
Uprights (69) back to the vertical position.
Note: One replacement Base Pad (99) may be included.

Bracket (107) so that the tabs will fit into the hole in the
Upright (69 [see inset drawing B]).
See inset drawing B. Place the Handrail Spacer (65) on
the left Upright (69) as shown, with the cutout on the indi-
cated side. Note: Make sure that the tabs on the
Grounding Bracket (107 [see inset drawing A]) are in-
serted into the hole in the Upright.
5. Pull the Upright Wire Harness (98) up through the other
Handrail Spacer (65). Place the Handrail Spacer on the
right Upright (69) as shown, with the cutout turned toward
the treadmill (see inset drawing A).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qual ified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product--if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-800-806-
3651 and order part number 146148.
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFOl-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
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 elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
Metal Screw
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
