Before You Assemble

Basic Assembly Principles

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

1.Gather the pieces needed for each step prior to starting the step.

2.Turning towards the right tightens all the bolts and locknuts on your Bowflex® TreadClimber®. Turning towards the left, loosens them.

3.All of the tools needed for assembly of your Bowflex® TreadClimber® exercise machine have been included. These tools are only designed for one use. If damaged, substitute any commonly available 9/16” wrench and #2 screwdriver.

Note: A utility knife or scissors will be required during the unpacking and assembly process (not included).

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 20 inches (0.5 meters) on each side and in front of your TreadClimber® machine, and at least 36 inches (0.75 meters) behind it for dismount.

Make sure that the location you choose has a 10A 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 outlet 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 60 inches (1.5m) 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 when mounting and dismounting the TreadClimber® machine, limits static discharge when you touch the machine, greatly reducing the possibility of display or running errors. A rubberized mat will protect your flooring when you are performing repairs or maintenance. Put your Bowflex® TreadClimber® Machine Mat in your selected workout area before begining assembly to protect your floors and your TreadClimber® machine from damage.
