on any surface that blocks air openings. To
protect the floor or carpet from damage, place
a mat under the treadmill.

4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois­ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a

or more amps. No other appliance should be on
the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
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 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.

Assembly requires the included allen wrenches and your own phillips screwdriver ,
adjustable wrench , wire cutters , and needlenose pliers .

For help identifying the assembly hardware, refer to the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART below.

1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.

With the help of a second person, carefully tip the tread­mill onto its left side as shown. Partially fold the Frame
