HOW TO SET UP THE INCLINE TRAINER
Assembly requires two persons. Set the INCLINE TRAINER 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 the
included allen wrenches.
Note: The underside of the INCLINE TRAINER walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During
hipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This
s
is a normal condition and does not affect INCLINE TRAINER performance. If 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. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (96, 107) onto the
brackets near the front of the Base Frame (52).

indicated holes must be facing the INCLINE
TRAINER.
Raise the Left Upright (107) until the lower hole in the
front of the Left Upright is aligned with the upper hole in
the bracket as shown. Thread an Upright Bolt (106) into
the Left Upright and the bracket.
the Upright Bolt yet.
Repeat this step with the Right Upright (96).
2. While a second person holds the Handrail (94) near the
Uprights (96, 107), feed the wires in both sides of the
Handrail down into the Uprights. Pull the ends of the
wires out of the lower ends of the Uprights and remove
the wire ties from the ends of the wires.
Finger tighten four Handrail Bolts (93) into the Handrail
(94) and the Uprights (96, 107) as shown. Be careful to
avoid pinching the wires in the Handrail.

HOW TO MOVE THE INCLINE TRAINER
Before moving the INCLINE TRAINER, adjust the
incline to 30% and then unplug the power cord.
Note: It may be necessary to disconnect the CATV
cable and the network wire from the INCLINE
TRAINER, depending on how far the INCLINE
TRAINER will be moved.
Due to the size and weight of the INCLINE
TRAINER, moving it requires two persons. While
one person lifts the indicated end of the INCLINE
TRAINER, firmly hold the handrails and tip the INCLINE TRAINER forward until it rolls on the front
wheels. Carefully move the INCLINE TRAINER to
the desired location and then lower it back to the
level position. Note: Another way to move the INCLINE TRAINER is to have one person stand on
each side of it, lift the frame, and move it on the rear wheels.
CAUTION:
attempt to move the INCLINE TRAINER over uneven surfaces.
To reduce the risk of injury, use extreme caution while moving the INCLINE TRAINER. Do not

result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified 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. Do not use
an adapter to connect the plug to an improper
receptacle.
This product is
for use on a dedicated circuit. In
the UK,
Germany, Italy,
Spain, or
France, use a
dedicated 10amp, 240-volt
circuit. No other
appliance should
be on the same
circuit. The product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Plug one end of the cord into the INCLINE TRAINER
as shown in drawing 1. Attach the cord bracket over
the cord with the included allen wrench and the two
bracket screws.
Next, plug the grounding plug into a receptacle as
shown in drawing 2 at the right. Do not modify the plug
or the receptacle. Do not use an adapter, a surge pro
tector, or an extension cord.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE
If your INCLINE TRAINER has the Workout TV console, a CATV cable must be connected to the IN-
CLINE TRAINER for cable TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable
jack on the front of
the INCLINE
TRAINER.
Connect the CATV
cable to the cable
jack using the PAL
adapter. Route the
cable so that it will
not be pinched or
crushed by the wheels when the incline is changed.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be
connected to the INCLINE TRAINER. Connect a CATV
cable from the coaxial output on your equipment (usu
ally labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on
the front of the INCLINE TRAINER.
Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs
-
(some satellite receivers and DVD players) requires a RF
modulator to work correctly with the INCLINE TRAINER.
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.
