HOW TO SET UP THE TREADMILL

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill 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.

1. Slide the Right and Left Uprights (95, 97) onto the brackets near the front of the Frame (76). Make sure that the

Uprights are on the correct sides; the indicated holes must be facing the treadmill.

Raise the Right Upright (95) until the lower hole in the front of the Upright is aligned with the upper hole in the bracket. Thread an Upright Bolt (96) into the Upright and the bracket. Do not fully tighten the Upright Bolt yet.

Repeat this step with the Left Upright (97).

2. While a second person holds the Handrail (91) near the Uprights (95, 97), 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. If there are wire ties on the ends of the wires, remove them.

Finger tighten eight Handrail Bolts (99) into the Uprights (95, 97) and the Handrail (91). Do not tighten the

Handrail Bolts yet. Be careful to avoid pinching the wires.

Note: The CD Holder (86) and the Cup Holder (85) are replaceable. If these parts become dislodged from the Console Assembly, simply press them back into place.

HOW TO CONNECT THE TREADMILL

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

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.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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, 20-amp, 120-volt circuit. No other appliance should be on the same circuit. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug one end of the cord into the treadmill as shown in drawing 1. Attach the cord bracket over the cord with two bracket screws.

HOW TO CONNECT A CATV CABLE

If your treadmill has the Workout TV console, a

CATV cable must be connected to the treadmill for

cable TV stations to be viewed.

Locate the cable jack on the front of the treadmill. Connect the CATV cable to the cable jack. 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 treadmill. Connect a CATV cable from the coaxial output on your equipment (usually labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable jack on the front of the treadmill.

Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs (some satellite receivers and DVD players) will require an RF modulator to work correctly with the treadmill. 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, or contact your local audio/visual service provider.

Plug the grounding plug into a standard NEMA 5-20 receptacle as shown in drawing 2. Do not modify the plug or the receptacle. Do not use an adapter, a surge protector, or an extension cord.
