Setting Up the Treadmill

You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up the treadmill.
However, you will need assistance during assembly.

Installation Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when installing the treadmill. If you do not install the
treadmill according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor limited warranty.
• Set up the treadmill on a solid, flat surface. Unpack and assemble the treadmill
close to where you plan to use it. Make sure that the surface under the unit is
smooth and level. A level unit is required for the user's safety and proper operation.
• Provide ample space around the unit. Open space around the unit makes for a
safer mount and dismount.
• Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The serial number can be found on
the shipping container or on the label near the power receptacle. Write the serial
number onto the Precor limited warranty card found inside the back cover of this
manual and in the Obtaining Service section on page 9.
• Use the appropriate voltage, dedicated circuit, and grounding as specified on
the treadmill. A 20 amp circuit is recommended.

Assembly Instructions

To assemble the treadmill, take the following steps.
1. Obtain adult assistance. Have your assistants help place the shipping carton
close to the location where you plan to use the treadmill. Break down the side
walls of the shipping carton so that they lie flat. Remove the loose contents.
2. 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.
3. Move the treadmill. Diagram 3. To avoid injury to yourself or damage to the unit,
ask for help in placing the treadmill where you plan to use it. Diagram 3 illustrates
how to properly lift the rear end so that you can roll it on its front wheels.
Lift the rear of the
unit and roll it to its
assembly location.
