Align the indicated tubes on the Incline Ramp (5) with

the tubes on the Frame (1). Make sure that the

Incline Ramp is turned so the V-shaped grooves

are on top. Insert the Incline Axle (29) into the Incline

Ramp and the Frame. Note: It may be helpful to tap

the Incline Axle with a rubber mallet to insert it.

5. While another person holds the Upright (2) near the

Frame (1), connect the Wire Flarness (85) to the

Extension Wire Harness (51). Next, attach the Upright

to the Frame with three M10 x 25mm Screws (102)

and three M10 Split Washers (22). Be careful to

avoid pinching the wire harnesses.

6. Connect the wire harness on the Console (87) to the

until the left end of the Arm Axle is flush with the left

side of the Upright. Then, insert the Arm Axle into the

left Axle Cover (74) and the Left Upper Body Arm (7).

Center the Arm Axle (19). Using the included pedal

tool, tap two Push Nuts (15) about 1/8” onto each end

of the Arm Axle. Make sure that the Push Nuts are

turned as shown in the inset drawing. (Note: It may be

helpful if another person holds a block of wood against

one end of the Arm Axle while you tap Push Nuts onto

the other end.) Then, press an Axle Cap (34) onto each

end of the Arm Axle.
