Assembly Guide

Before You Assemble

Basic Assembly Principals

Here are few basic assembly tips that can make assembly of your Bowflex® TreadClimber® exercise machine quick and easy.

1.You can make the assembly process go faster by gathering the pieces you need for each step prior to starting the step.

2.As a general rule, and for all bolts and locknuts on your Bowflex® TreadClimber® exercise machine, turning toward the right will tighten, turning towards the left will loosen. An easy way to remember this is by remembering the expression, “Lefty loosey, righty tighty.”

3.All of the tools needed for assembly of your Bowflex® TreadClimber® exercise machine have been included. You may find the use of a utility knife or scissors beneficial during the unpacking and assembly process.

Select Your Workout Area

Select where you are going to put your Bowflex® TreadClimber® exercise machine carefully. The best place for your TreadClimber® machine is on a hard, level surface. You will need at least two feet on each side and in front of your TreadClimber® machine, and at least three feet behind it for dismount.

Make sure that the location you choose has a grounded, 3-prong power outlet within reach of the TreadClimber® machine power cord, preferably to the right side of the machine where you will be less likely to step on the cord during dismount.

NOTE: The TreadClimber® machine is designed to plug into a grounded, non-GFI outlets only. To determine if your outlet or circuit breaker is GFI, look for a test and reset button on them. If they have the test and reset button it is a GFI outlet or circuit breaker.

Further, if you ever perform any repairs on your TreadClimber® machine that require you to lay it on its side, you will need at least five feet to one side of your workout area.

Machine Mat

The Bowflex® TreadClimber® Machine Mat is an optional accessory for the TreadClimber® machine that helps keep your workout area free from debris and dust. The rubber machine floor mat provides a non-slip surface for you to use when mounting and dismounting the TreadClimber® machine and limits static discharge when you touch the machine— greatly reducing the possibility of display or running errors. Further, a rubberized mat will protect your flooring when you are performing repairs or maintenance on the TreadClimber® machine.

Put your Bowflex® TreadClimber® Machine Mat in place in your selected workout area before you start assembly to protect your floors and your TreadClimber® machine from damage.

Positioning Your TreadClimber® Machine

Take great care when moving your TreadClimber® machine into place prior to assembly.

There are two handles for lifting on the back of the base and two wheels on either side of the front of the base beneath the console. The TreadClimber® machine requires 90 pounds of force to raise

the base the 30 degrees necessary to roll it on the front wheels for storage or cleaning. As this is a considerable amount of force, it is highly recommended that you do not attempt to ever lift or move the TreadClimber® machine without help.

When you assemble the TreadClimber® machine, you will need at least two people to set the base in place, place the treadles, and lift the handlebar assembly.
