On the side that now has the edge of the deck exposed from under the frame, pull the rear edge of the deck upward until it is just above the frame rail. Use a screwdriver or putty knife to hold the deck above the frame. Using another screwdriver, raise and hold the front of the deck.

3. Remove the bumper(s) that are not aligned with the pencil marks by carefully prying them away from the deck with a screwdriver, knife or putty knife.

5. Once the bumpers on the side have been installed in the proper locations, remove the screwdrivers used to hold the deck above the frame.

6. Repeat process on opposite side of the treadmill.

7. After the bumpers have been properly installed on both sides of the running deck, position the deck properly, and verify that all bumpers have adjacent o the holes. Reinstall the delrin rods.
