  Treadmill Assembly

STEP 1:  Remove treadmill / parts from carton.  Inspect for any possible freight

damage.  Place treadmill near any AC power source (extension cord, etc.).

STEP 2:  Raise console upright(s) into extreme forward upright position.  Place the

longest hex bolt (in parts bag) through the front towards the rear of both uprights.

Start (only) hex lock nut.  A shorter hex bolt attaches similar to existing (from factory)

already installed hardware.  Tighten all hardware securely using the enclosed 14 / 13

mm wrenches.

STEP 3:  Locate the upper display assembly and place in general position over

both console uprights.  Attach both* black control cables found in each upright to the

display (cables).  Note they are polarized and make certain they lock in place.

Observe for proper wire routing and place display assembly into the right / left

console upright.  Locate the 10 shortest (1/2”) Allen bolts.  Start all 1/2” Allen bolts

before securing any.  Tighten all 10 Allen bolts with enclosed hex wrench.

*Note:  SL188 has only one (in right hand upright).

STEP 4:  Locate both right / left cushioned hand rails.  The speed (fast / slow) hand

rail attaches on the right side.  Incline (up / down) hand rail will attach on the left

side.  You may begin assembly with either side.  Locate the small black wire(s)

coming from each console housing.  Connect the polarized wires (console / handle)

and make certain they are securely fastened.  Place handle into upper console

general position.  Install (start only) the long Allen bolt (with washer) thru the upright

and into the hand rail.  Align the tapped hole in the top of the hand rail to the console

and install the 3/4” long Allen bolt.  Tighten both upper / lower Allen bolts only after

both are started.  Repeat procedure for opposite hand rail side.

Keep large hex Allen wrench for future treadbelt adjustment.

Attach polarized AC power cord securely to front of treadmill base
receiver and make certain red power switch is on (lit).

Unit is ready for operation.

08/15/03

Damage to the treadmill due to improper assembly is not covered under warranty.

Attention

Use caution when mounting the display head assembly to the console upright(s).  Observe all black cables 

(

SL188 has

only one)

 for potential damage during this assembly process.  Wires may be damaged (pinched / cut) which will result in

treadmill failure.  Pay close attention to the mounting hole areas when starting each bolt.
