Chapter 1
Assembling the Treadmill
Important: The instructions in the following procedures are
described from the perspective of a person standing directly in
front of the equipment (that is, on the opposite side of the
control console from a person using the equipment). These
descriptions may not match the names of certain parts in the parts
list, because such parts are named relative to the back of the
equipment.
WARNING
You will need assistance to assemble this unit.
DO NOT attempt assembly by yourself.
To prepare the treadmill for assembly:
1. Have your assistant help place the shipping carton close
to the location where you plan to use the treadmill. Break
down the sidewalls of the shipping carton so that they lie
flat. Remove the loose contents of the carton.
CAUTION: Use safe lifting techniques throughout the
following steps. To prevent injury to yourself or damage to
the equipment, obtain appropriate assistance before
removing the unit from the pallet.
2. With the help of as many assistants as necessary, lift the
treadmill off of the pallet and roll it gently onto the floor.
3. Make sure that the power switch is OFF. Check the
ON/OFF power switch on the front of the treadmill. Place
the switch in the O (OFF) position. Make sure that the
treadmill is not plugged into a power source.
Note: In the following step, do not roll the treadmill over
its power cord.
4. Lift the unit by placing hands on opposite sides of the rear
cross brace found under the treadmill’s running belt. Roll
the treadmill on its front wheels to the area where it will
be used.
