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.
