ASSEMBLY

To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call 1-800-445-2480. 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 hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver , adjustable wrench , and scissors .

Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly.

Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preattached to one of the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly. Extra hardware may be included.

Cut the ties securing the Upright Wire (38) to the

Base (83). Locate the tie in the indicated hole in the Base, and use the tie to pull the Upright Wire out of the hole.

Attach a Base Pad (81) to the Base (83) in the location shown with a Base Pad Spacer (13) and a 1" Tek Screw (2). Then, attach another Base

Pad (81) with only a 1" Tek Screw (2).
