nine pins line up correctly. Connect two-pin stop switch cable.
Step Five: Position display console onto handrail and install screws, making sure the
screws are not driven through the cable.

the treadmill line up with the frame holes. Install bolts securing handrail assembly into upright
position.

whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product -
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
