dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. 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 perfor-
ance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild,
m
non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included hex keysand your own Phillips screwdriver,
adjustable wrench, and wire cutters.
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preattached
to one of the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly. Extra hardware may be included.
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
Remove the 3/8" Nut (8), Bolt (D), and the shipping bracket (C) from the Base (83). Remove
the shipping bracket from the other side of
