ASSEMBLY
There are several areas during the assembly process that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the assembly
instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened. If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the
treadmill could have parts that are not tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. To prevent damage to the
treadmill, the assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.
Before proceeding, find your treadmill’s serial number located near the on/off
power switch and power cord and enter it in the space provided below.
ENTER YOUR SERIAL NUMBER IN THE BOX BELOW:
» Refer to the SERIAL NUMBER and MODEL NAME when calling for service.
» Be sure to enter both the SERIAL NUMBER and MODEL NAME on your warranty card.
