ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two persons. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
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 or the shipping carton. This is a normal
condition and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off
the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
Assembly requires the included small allen wrench
rubber mallet
pliers
.
To identify small parts during assembly, use the PART IDENTIFICATION CHART in the center of this manual.
1. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
With the help of a second person, carefully tip the
treadmill onto one side. Partially fold the Frame (75) so
that the treadmill is more stable. Do not fully fold the
treadmill until it is completely assembled.
Attach four Base Pads (40) to the Base (11) with four
3/4" Tek Screws (87) in the locations shown.
2. With the help of a second person, tip the treadmill down
to the position shown.
Attach a Wheel (37) to each side of the Base (11) with a
Wheel Bolt (36) and a Wheel Nut (38) as shown.
Identify the Right Upright (62) and the Left Upright (76)
(there are two small holes in the side of the Left Upright).
Remove any plastic ties that are in the square holes in
the Uprights. While a second person holds the Right
Upright near the Wire Harness (21), insert the end of the
Wire Harness into the lower end of the Right Upright and
out of the upper end.

I have adjusted my walkking belt on the Proform model C42 as far as I can by using the adjuster at the back of the machine and belt still slips. Any thing else I can do other than buying a new walking belt?

To fix a slipping walking belt on a Pro-Form C42 treadmill without buying a new belt:

1. Remove the key and unplug the power cord.
2. Use an Allen wrench to turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clockwise 1/4 turn to tighten the belt.
3. Check the belt tension by lifting each side of the belt; it should lift 2–3 inches off the walking platform.
4. Ensure the belt is centered.
5. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
6. Repeat the adjustment if the belt still slips.

If the problem continues, contact customer service.
