ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Place all parts of the elliptical exerciser in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
Assembly requires the included hex keys and your own Phillips screwdriver , adjustable
wrench , and rubber mallet .
As you assemble the elliptical exerciser, use the drawings below to identify small parts. 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
following the parentheses is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-
assembled. If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it has been preassembled.

Remove the two M10 x 120mm Patch Screws
(78) and the shipping bracket (not shown)
attached to the front of the Frame (1). Discard
the shipping bracket; do not discard the two
Patch Screws.
Orient the Front Stabilizer (49) with the Wheels
(8) in the position shown. While a second per-
son tips the Frame (1) backward, attach the
Front Stabilizer to the Frame with the two M10 x
120mm Patch Screws (78).
