ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not 
dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled. No tools are required.

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, the sides of the walking platform, or
the shipping carton. This does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or
on the sides of the walking platform, wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise the

Uprights (103) until the Wheels (99) are resting on the
floor as shown.

2. Next, make sure that the Lock Knob Sleeve (68) is fully

inserted into the left Upright (103). 

Remove the Lock Knob (67) from the Lock Pin (72). Make
sure that the Lock Pin Collar (70) and the Spring (69) are
on the Lock Pin. Insert the Lock Pin into the left Upright
(103) and tighten the Lock Knob onto it.

3.  Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use the treadmill. Place a mat beneath the treadmill

to protect the floor or carpet. For your benefit, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the
TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE section on pages 25 through 27.
