lems.
2. t is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
3. Use the treadmill only as described.
4. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with at
least 8 ft. (2.4 m) of clearance behind it and 2
ft. (0.6 m) on each side. Do not place the
treadmill on any surface that blocks air open-
ings. To protect the floor or carpet from dam-
age, place a mat under the treadmill.
5. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from mois-
ture and dust. Do not put the treadmill in a
garage or covered patio, or near water.

ASSEMBLY
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, some lubricant may be transferred to the top of
the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is normal and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubri-
cant 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 .
For help identifying the assembly hardware, see the drawings below. 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: f a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has
been preassembled. To avoid damaging plastic parts, do not use power tools for assembly. Extra hard-
ware may be included.

Locate two cardboard stands. With the help of a
second person, raise the front of the treadmill
and insert the crossbar on the Base (115) into
the cutouts in the cardboard stands as shown.
Make sure the cardboard stands are far
enough apart to support the treadmill.
Serious injury may occur if the treadmill
moves forward or backward and falls off the
cardboard stands. A second person must
hold the treadmill until assembly step 3 is
completed to prevent the treadmill from
moving, tipping, or falling. 115
