Before You Assemble

Basic Assembly Principles

Here are few basic assembly tips that can make assembly of your Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness 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® fitness 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® fitness machine have been included with the unit. You may find the use of a utility knife or scissors beneficial during the unpacking and assembly process.

4.It is recommended that you use two people to assemble your Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine.

Select Your Workout Area

Select where you are going to put your Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine carefully. The best place for your TreadClimber® fitness machine is on a hard, level surface. You will need at least 19 inches (0.5 meters) on each side and 79 inches (2 meters) in the rear of the machine for dismount.

Make sure that the location you choose has a power outlet within reach of the TreadClimber® fitness machine power cord, preferably to the front of the machine where you will be less likely to step on the cord during dismount.

NOTE: The TreadClimber® fitness 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® fitness machine that require you to lay it on its side, you will need at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) to one side of your workout area.

Machine Mat

The Bowflex® TreadClimber® Machine Mat is an optional accessory for the TreadClimber® fitness machine that helps keep your workout area free from debris and dust. The rubber floor mat provides a non-slip surface for you to use when mounting and dismounting the TreadClimber® fitness machine and limits static discharge when you touch the machine, 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® fitness 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® fitness machine from damage.

Positioning Your TreadClimber® Fitness Machine

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

Select a location for your TreadClimber® fitness machine with access to a non-GFI protected circuit, within reach of the power cord.

There are two handles for lifting on the front of the base below the console and two wheels on either side of the rear step of the base platform. The TreadClimber® fitness machine requires considerable force to raise the base the 30 degrees necessary to roll it on the rear wheels for storage or cleaning. Due to the weight of the machine, it is highly recommended that you do not attempt to ever lift or move the TreadClimber® fitness machine without help.

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