ASSEMBLY
To hire an authorized service technician to assemble the treadmill, call toll-free 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-performance 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. 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 key and your own Phillips screwdriver .
Use the drawings below to identify the hardware used during assembly. Note: f a part is not in the hardware
kit, check to see if it has been preattached to one of the parts to be assembled. To avoid damaging plas-
tic parts, do not use power tools for assembly.
