Assembly Instructions
1. The GlideTrak should be
assembled in the room where you
will use your treadmill and
GlideTrak. Remove all GlideTrak
parts from the box and lay them
out onto your floor space. Remove
all packaging materials from each
part to prepare for assembly.
2. Refer to the Parts Identification
Pages (pgs. 23-26) to identify
each part. The photographs also
indicate the side of the part that
should face upwards to make
assembly as easy as possible.
Lay the parts on the floor as
shown in the Parts Identification
Guide (pgs. 23-26).

Now you are ready to assemble the Seat Assembly.
19. SEAT ASSEMBLY: Cut away any wrapping and plastic ties from the Seat Assembly. The
Seat Assembly Includes the Back Straps, Seat Post, Adjustment Rod, Hip Post, Hip Pad and
Front Straps. (Photo 8)
When you take it out of the box, the assembly will be in 2 parts. One piece is the bulk of
the Seat Assembly. The second piece is the Seat Pad with attached Seat Screws. To
complete the Seat Assembly, you only need to reattach the Seat Pad. You will need one
Phillips-head screwdriver for this task.
20. To reattach the Seat: Remove the 2 screws
and 2 washers from the back of the Seat Pad.
21, Insert the front of the Wire
Loop of the Seat
Assembly into the Wire
Slot on the back of the
Seat Pad.
