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. Note: The treadmill walking deck 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, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

During assembly, refer to the drawings at the right to identify the small parts used in assembly.

Assembly requires a phillips screwdriver , an adjustable wrench , and scissors (not included), as well as the included allen wrench .
