ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials, unless
otherwise instructed. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires
the included allen wrench and your own flat-bladed screwdriver , wire cutters ,
and adjustable wrench .
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 treadmill or the shipping carton. This is a normal con-
dition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt or foot pads, simply
wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
3. With the help of a second person, carefully tip both
Uprights (83) to the floor.
Insert the three Cage Nuts (28) into the three indicated
holes in the treadmill.
To insert each Cage Nut (28), first hook one side of the
Cage Nut into a hole and then use a flat-bladed screw-
driver to press the other side into the hole, as shown.

Handrail. Thread the Handrail Bolts into the Handrail.

not tighten the Handrail Bolts yet. Be careful not to
pinch the wires.

1. With the help of a second person, carefully raise both
Uprights (83) to a vertical position. Remove any packag-
ing from the crossbar.
Remove the elastic holding the Upright Wire Harness
(131) in the right Upright (83). Have a second person
hold the Handrails (73) near the Uprights. Connect the
Upright Wire Harness to the wires extending from the
Console Base (120).
The connectors should slide to-
gether easily and snap into place. If they do not, turn
one connector and try again.
Insert the connectors and
the Upright Wire Harness into the hole in the right
Upright. Then, set the Handrails on the Uprights, being
careful not to pinch the wires.
