BEFORE YOU BEGIN Thank you for selecting the new REEBOK treadmill. The RX 8200 treadmill combines advanced technology with innovative design to help you get the most from your exercise program in the convenience of your home. And when you’re not exercising, the unique RX 8200 can be folded up, requiring less than half the floor space of other treadmills.
ASSEMBLY Assembly requires two people. Place the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until the treadmill is assembled. Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt, the sides of the walking platform, or the shipping carton.
