Assembling the Treadmill

29

To complete assembly of the treadmill base:

Important: Use your fingers to align and thread the four hood fasteners properly. Then use a wrench to tighten the hood fasteners completely as described in the following step.

1.Thread the four black buttonhead screws (with black washers) into their holes, leaving gaps of about ¹₄ inch between the washers and the surface of the treadmill frame.

2.Place the front of the hood on the two front screws. Make sure the screws are aligned with the notches in the hood and the washers are outside the hood.

3.Lower the back of the hood until the side screws rest inside the notches in the internal wall of the hood. Make sure the washers are outside the internal wall (on the same side as the screw heads).

4.Tighten all four screws securely, starting with the front screws.

Note: Using a hex wrench, reach through the openings in the outer sides of the hood to tighten the side screws.
