1. 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.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrench and your own phillips screwdriver .

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 lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

2. Refer to HOW TO LOWER THE TREADMILL FOR USE on page 18. 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 Upright (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.

Be careful 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 Storage Latch (77) to the left Upright (82) with two 3/4” Screws (89).

5. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a secure place. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 20). To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under the treadmill.

4. With the help of a second person, carefully tip the Uprights (82) down as shown. Make sure that the

Extension Legs (103) remain in the Uprights.

Tighten a Handrail Bolt (78) with a Handrail Washer (36) into each Extension Leg (103) and Handrail (85) as shown. It may be helpful to pull the Handrail (85) to the side and hand tighten a Handrail Bolt (78) into the bottom of the Handrail. Notice the angle of the Bolt. Attach the Bolt and Washer at the observed angle. It should be close to the same the angle of the Handrail (see inset drawing).

Note: Refer to figure 4b. To align the hole in the Handrail with the hole in the Extension Leg, it may be necessary to move the Handrails up or down or have a second person stand on the treadmill and lift the Handrail.

Next, attach each Extension Leg (103) with two Short Screws (101) as shown.

Note: One replacement Base Pad (97) may be included. Use the extra Pad if one becomes worn or needs to be replaced.

With the help of a second person, carefully tip the Uprights (82) back to the upright position.

3. Slide the upper end of a Handrail (85) into the right Upright (82) as shown. Note: It will be necessary to

pivot the Handrail to the side and back repeatedly (see arrow A) while pushing on the Handrail (see arrow B) to slide it fully into the Upright. Next, pivot the lower end of the Handrail down, push it toward the right Upright, and then align it with the indicated hole.

Slide the other Handrail (85) into the left Upright (82) as described above.

THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off.

To decrease the possibility of your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right).

Surge protectors are sold at most hardware stores and department stores. Use only a CULlisted surge protector with 450 joules minimum surge dissipation rated at 15 amps, with a 14gauge cord of five feet or less in length.

This product must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding pro-

vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord

into a surge suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.

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.
