SSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials untilassembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrenc_

and your own phillips screwdriver (_3 =====_•

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. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off

the tubdcant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive c_eaner.

, With the help of a second person, carefully raise the

treadmill to the upright position.

While a second person tips the treadmill to one side

and holds it, insert one of the Extension Legs (103) into

the treadmill as shown. Make sure that the Extension

Leg is turned so the Base Pad (97) is on the bottom.

Next, tip the treadmill to the other side and insert the
other Extension Leg (not shown) in the same way. Lower

the side of the treadmill so that both Extension Legs
(103) are resting flat on the floor.

. Refer to HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE

on page 15. Follow the instructions in step 2 to lower the

treadmill.

Hold the latch spacer and the latch support together as
shown. Attach the latch spacer and the latch support to

the center hole in the left Updght (82) with a 3/4" Screw
(89). Make sure that the Screw is tight, but do not over-

tighten it; if the Screw is overtightened, the latch will
not slide smoothly.

Remove the tape from the Latch Assembly (77), Be care-
ful to hold the parts together. Inset drawing A shows
how the Latch Assembly fits together. Inset drawing B
shows how the springs fit into the bracket. Make sure that

the tabs on the latch are touching the bracket and that
the back end of the latch is flush with the bracket.

Attach the Latch Assembly (77) to the left Upright (82)
with two 3/4" Screws (89).
