ASSEMBLY

T

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
and adjustable wrench .

Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. Note: If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it
is preattached to one of the parts to be assembled.

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 (59) so the treadmill will be more stable. Do not

fully fold the treadmill until it is completely assem­bled.

Attach a Wheel (94) to the Upright Base (97) with a
Wheel Bolt (90) and a Nut (20). Do not overtighten the

Nut; the Wheel must turn freely.
