NordicTrack 4500 R, User Manual

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove all packing materials. Do not
dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the included allen wrench
and your own flat-bladed screwdriver                               ,  wire cutters                  , and adjustable 
wrench                     .

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 treadmill 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 or foot pads,
simply wipe off the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

2. With the help of a second person, carefully raise both

Uprights (99) to a vertical  position. Press the Latch Knob
Sleeve (111) into the left Upright and hold the Latch Knob
Spacer (112) against the left Upright.

Remove the Latch Knob (113) from the Latch Pin (107).
Make sure that the Latch Pin Collar (109) and the Latch
Pin Spring (110) are on the Latch Pin. (Note: If there are
two Latch Pin Collars, place one on each side of the
Spring.) Insert the Latch Pin into the Latch Knob Sleeve
(111) and the Left Upright (99). 

Tighten the Latch Knob (113) onto the Latch Pin (107).

3. With the help of a second person, raise the Walking

Platform (24) to the storage position and make sure that
the latch pin is engaged as described on page 26. 

Position the Base Plate (91) on the treadmill as shown.
Attach the Base Plate with the three Base Plate Screws
(92). Note: It may be helpful if a second person tips the
treadmill slightly as you tighten the Screws. 

If the treadmill rocks slightly, turn one or both of the
Leveling Feet (127) under the Uprights (99) until the
rocking motion is eliminated. Carefully lower the Walking
Platform (24) to the floor as described on page 27.
