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.

two Latch Screws (35). Be careful not to overtighten

the Latch Screws.

the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a se-

cure location. The allen wrench is used to adjust the

3. Hold one of the Handrails (1) at an angle as shown and
insert the upper end as far as possible into the right
Upright (11). Keep the lower end of the Handrail away
from the treadmill to avoid scratching the finish. Next,
rotate the lower end of the Handrail to the position shown
by the dotted line. Note: It may be necessary to push on
the lower end of the Handrail in order to position it
against the bracket on the Extension Leg (34).

Handrail (1) is aligned with the hole in the bracket on the
Extension Leg (34). If the holes are not aligned, rotate the
Handrail away from the treadmill and slide the upper end
of the Handrail out of the Upright (11) slightly. Then, ro­tate the lower end of the Handrail back to the position
shown by the dotted line in drawing 3. Repeat, if neces­sary, until the holes are aligned. Make sure that the lower
end of the Handrail is against the bracket on the
Extension Leg. Tighten an Extension Leg Screw (53) into
the bracket and the Handrail.
