5. Once the bumpers on the side have been installed in the proper locations, remove the screwdrivers used to hold the deck above the frame.

6. Repeat process on opposite side of the treadmill.

7. After the bumpers have been properly installed on both sides of the running deck, position the deck properly, and verify that all bumpers have adjacent o the holes. Reinstall the delrin rods.
