Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Thank you for purchasing the FTS Glide. This unit is
part of the Precor Strength line of quality strength
training machines, which let you target specific muscle
groups to achieve better muscle tone and overall body
conditioning. To maximize your use of the equipment,
please study this guide thoroughly.
Unpacking the Equipment
The FTS Glide is carefully tested and inspected before
shipment. Precor Strength ships the unit in several
pieces that require assembly. Ask for assistance during
the assembly process.
• Review the Installation Requirements found on the
next page.
• When instructed to open a box, carefully unpack the
pieces and lay them on the floor near the location
where you plan to use the equipment.
Be careful to open boxes and assemble components
in the sequence presented in this manual.
If any items are missing, contact the dealer from whom
you purchased the unit. For more information, refer to
Obtaining Service.

Preparations
Preparations
CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need
assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this
guide. If you do not assemble and use the FTS Glide
according to the following guidelines, you could void
the Precor Limited Warranty.
Required Tools
Tools that you need to obtain before assembling the unit
include:
❏ Standard set of metric hex keys
❏ Tw o ⁹⁄₁₆-inch wrenches
❏ Wire cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏ Step ladder
Note: Use box-end, open-end, or standard crescent
wrenches.
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the unit:
• Fill out and mail the warranty registration card.
• Set up the FTS Glide on a solid, flat surface.
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep
it level.
• Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for easier
access.
• Insert all fasteners in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the fasteners in the
same direction unless specified (in text or
illustrations) to do otherwise.
• Leave room for adjustments. With so many
assembled parts, proper alignment and adjustment is
critical. Tighten fasteners (such as screws, nuts,
and bolts), so the unit is stable, but leaves room for
adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until
instructed (in the steps) to do so.
Assembly Tips
• A black 6-inch scale with white numbers is provided
at the bottom of ever y assembly instruction page.
Use this scale to identify the correct fastener size.
The head of a fastener is not used in measuring the
length.
To find out the length of a particular fastener,
measure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath
the head). Refer to the following diagram:
• Silver fasteners are used within the silver painted
areas. Black fasteners are used when assembling
the gray painted surfaces.
• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
• Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
• While you may be able to assemble the FTS Glide
by reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for
important safety cautions and notes.

Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the FTS Glide takes professional installers
about 1 hour to complete. If this is the first time you
have assembled this type of equipment, plan on
significantly more time.
Professional installers are highly recommended!
However, if you acquire the appropriate tools, obtain
assistance, and follow the assembly steps sequentially,
the process will take time, but is fairly easy.
CAUTION: Obtain assistance! Do not attempt to
assemble the FTS Glide by yourself. Review
Installation Requirements before proceeding with
the following steps.
The FTS Glide comes in two long boxes with 10 smaller
boxes of weights:
