2. Insert one of the Extension Legs (34) into the treadmill as shown. Note: It may be helpful to tip the Uprights (11) in the direction shown by the arrow, as you insert the Extension Leg. Make sure that the bracket is on the indicated side of the Extension Leg. Attach the Extension Leg with an Extension Leg Screw (53). Be sure to

push on the head of the Extension Leg Screw while tightening it.

Next, attach the other Extension Leg (34) in the same way.

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.

the Latch Screws.

5. Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Keep the included allen wrench in a se-

cure location. The allen wrench is used to adjust the walking belt (see page 13). To protect the floor or carpet, place a mat under the treadmill.

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).

3a.Refer to drawing 3a. Make sure that the hole in the

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.

Attach the other Handrail (not shown) as described above.
