ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two persons. Set the incline trainer 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 incline trainer
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 incline trainer 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 ,
adjustable wrench , and scissors .
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.
