5.Remove the Auto Stop cable from the tube on the right-hand side of the fairing (position 2 in the preceding illustration).

Important: In the following step, make sure that the end of the data cable with the ferrite bead is the upper end. Likewise, on the automatic stop sensor cable, the three-conductor socket is the lower end and the four-conductor socket is the upper end.

6.Remove any tape that secure the cables, then unwind them and remove any kinks. Gather the cables into a single bundle (referred to later as the cable assembly). Do not remove the cable tie that secures the ferrite to the cable to the frame.

Note: Arranging the cables so that the connectors are slightly staggered at the bottom end (but still within one inch or three centimeters overall) can help when feeding the cable assembly through narrow openings in the frame.

Assembling the Frame

DANGER Make sure that the treadmill is not connected to any power source before you begin the following procedures.

As you add the left-hand and right-hand upright supports to the treadmill base, you will need to make sure that the cable assembly is threaded properly through the left-hand support so that the necessary connections are available when you add the control console. A fish tape (a thin metal strip with a hook or clasp on one end, available from professional hardware vendors) can be helpful during this procedure.

To begin assembly of the frame:

1.Remove the hood and set it aside.
