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 two adjustable wrenches

and a phillips screwdriver (not included).

1. Attach two Base Pads (57) to the bottom of the Base

(59) in the indicated locations. Note: One extra Base Pad is included.

2. Firmly hold the left or right handrail as shown. Raise the

handrails until the Base (59) and the front Wheels (56) are resting on the floor.

Remove the six Weight Rack Screws (106) and the metal plate (not shown) from the right side of the Base (59). Discard the metal plate.

Attach a Weight Rack (110) to the right side of the Base (59) with the six Weight Rack Screws (106).

Attach the other Weight Rack (110) to the left side of the Base (59) in the same manner (not shown).

3. Make sure that there is a Frame Guide (52) on the left

side of the Frame (23). If there is not, attach the Frame Guide with two screws (100) as shown. Make sure that

the thick end of the Frame Guide is at the bottom.

4. Next, the treadmill should be raised to the storage posi-

tion. Hold the treadmill with your hands in the locations shown at the right. To decrease the possibility of in-

jury, bend your legs and keep your back straight. As you raise the treadmill, make sure to lift with your legs rather than your back. Raise the treadmill about

halfway to the vertical position.

5. Move your right hand to the position shown at the right,

and hold the treadmill firmly. Raise the treadmill until the Storage Latch (50) closes over the Frame Guide (52) (see the inset drawing). Make sure that the Storage

Latch closes fully over the Frame Guide.

6. Slide the Stabilizer Pad (63) onto the bottom of the

Stabilizer (64) in the indicated location.

Attach the Stabilizer (64) to the Base (59) with two Stabilizer Bolts (62) and two Stabilizer Nuts (61) as shown.

Before moving the treadmill, see HOW TO MOVE THE TREADMILL on page 11.

7. Refer to assembly drawing 5 at the top of this page.

Hold the upper end of the treadmill with your right hand as shown. Using your left thumb, slide the Storage Latch (50) to the left. Pivot the treadmill slightly until the Frame Guide (52) is past the Storage Latch.

Hold the treadmill with both hands in the locations shown at the right. Lower the treadmill to the floor. To

decrease the possibility of injury, bend your legs and keep your back straight.

8. To attach the Book Rack (4) to the Console (2), first re-

move the backing from the Tape (60). Align the holes in the Book Rack with those in the Console. Attach the Book Rack to the Console with the four Screws (100) as shown.

9. Remove the backing from the Adhesive Clip (77). Press

the Adhesive Clip onto the Rear Roller Cover (78) in the indicated location. Press the Allen Wrench (76) into the Adhesive Clip.

10.Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the

treadmill. Note: To protect the floor or carpet, place a

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

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. They 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 protector (not included) with your treadmill.

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

This product must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding provides 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

protector, and plug the surge protector 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 protector 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.
