ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call 1-800-445-2480. Assembly requires
two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-perfor-
mance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or
the shipping carton. This is a normal condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on
top of the walking belt, simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver and
adjustable wrench .
Use the drawings below to identify the assembly hardware. The number in parentheses below each drawing is
the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number after the parentheses
is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: f a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it is preattached
to one of the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assem-
bly. Extra hardware may be included.
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
With the help of a second person, carefully tip
the treadmill onto its left side. Partially fold the
Frame (56) so that the treadmill is more stable;
do not fully fold the Frame yet.

(38) to the Base (83). Locate the tie in the indi-
cated hole in the Base, and use the tie to pull
the Upright Wire out of the hole.
