object becomes lodged between the treadles, the treadles can be manually moved in one of the following 2 ways:
a. Push downward on the outside foot rail of the lowest treadle with your foot or hand, and the treadles
will move allowing release of the object.
b. Push down and back on the walk belt of the lowest treadle with your foot or hand, and the treadles
will move allowing release of the object.

Basic Assembly Tips
Follow these basic points when you assemble your machine:
• Read and understand the “Important Safety Instructions” before assembly.
• Collect all the pieces necessary for each assembly step.
• Using the recommended wrenches, turn the bolts and nuts to the right (clockwise) to tighten, and the
left (counterclockwise) to loosen, unless instructed otherwise.
• When attaching 2 pieces, lightly lift and look through the bolt holes to help insert the bolt through the
holes.
• The assembly requires 2 people.

Machine Mat
The Bowflex®TreadClimber®Machine Mat is an optional accessory that helps keep your workout area clear and adds
a layer of protection to your floor. The rubber machine mat provides a non-slip, rubber surface which limits static dis-
charge and reduces the possibility of display or running errors. If possible, put your Bowflex®TreadClimber®Machine
Mat in your selected workout area before you begin assembly.
To order the optional machine mat, go to: www.bowflex.com, or call 1 (800) 605–3369.
