two Screws (3). 

Be careful not to overtighten the

Screws.

6.

Make sure that all parts are tightened before you use
the treadmill.

Keep the included allen wrench in a se-

cure location. The allen wrench is used to adjust the
walking belt (see page 13). To protect the floor or carpet,
place a mat under the treadmill.

The console requires three "AA" batteries

(not in-

cluded). Alkaline batteries are recommended. To install
batteries, 

first touch one of the Handrails (1) to dis-

charge any static.

Next, open the battery cover as

shown. Insert three batteries into the battery compart-
ment, making sure that the negative (Ð) ends of the bat-
teries are touching the springs in the battery compart-
ment. Close the battery cover, push up on the battery
cover tab, and then push the tab forward as shown in the
far right drawing. Be sure that the tab locks into place.

Slide the other Handrail into the left side as described
above.

cal as shown.

into the left Extension Leg (34) and the lower end of the
left Handrail (1) as shown. Note: To align the hole in the
Handrail with the hole in the Extension Leg, it may be
necessary to have a second person stand on the tread-
mill and lift the Handrail. 

Next, tighten a Handrail Bolt (74) with a Handrail Washer
(75) into the right Extension Leg (34) and the lower end
of the right Handrail (1).
