UNPACKING THE UNIT
1. Using a razor knife (Box Cutter) cut the outside, bottom, edge of box along the dotted Line. Lift
Box over the unit and unpack.
2. Carefully remove all parts from carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If damaged
parts are found, or parts are missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into steps. Remove the tools first.
Remove the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion. The numbers in the instructions
that are in parenthesis (#) are the item number from the assembly drawing, for reference.
STEP 1: Incline Rail Assembly and Console Mast
1. Install the Incline Rail Assembly (2) into the U-channel bracket of the Main Frame (1). Secure
with the six bolts & associated hardware as follows: From the sides install two 3/8 x1-1/2 Hex
Head Bolts (77) with two 3/8 Flat Washers (96) and two 3/8 Nuts (89). From the top install
four 5/16 x2-1/4 Hex Head Bolts (167), four 5/16 Split Washers (178), four 5/16 Flat Washers
(100), and four 5/16 Star Washers (179), as shown in figure 1, and tighten securely.
2. Connect the three Incline Motor Power lines (your machine may have only one 3-pin power
connector) by matching the Red, White and Black color codes of the wires (37) and the 3-pin
position Sensor Connector (38).
3. Locate the Console Mast (12) and Console Mast Cover (49) and slide the Cover onto the Mast
as far as it will go. Make sure the Console Mast Cover is facing the correct way. At the top
opening of the Main Frame of the elliptical there is a Computer Cable (39). Unravel and
straighten out the cables and feed them into the bottom of the console mast tube and out of the
top opening. Install the Console Mast (12) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main
Frame (1). Pull slightly on the cables at the top of the mast while installing. This will ensure the
cable does not get pinched and electrically shorted during the console mast assembly.
4. Put one 3/8" x 2T Split Washer (128) onto the 3/8" x 2-1/4" Long Hex Head Bolt (75) and install
through the left side of the receiving bracket into the Console Mast (12). Put the two 3/8" x 23
Curved Washers (104) onto the two 3/8" x 3/4" Short Hex Head Bolts (76) and install through
the front of the console mast. Using the 13/14m/m Wrench, tighten the three bolts, and the
fourth bolt, which is pre-installed, firmly. These bolts should be tightened as much as you
possibly can.
5. Plug all of the connectors into the back of the console; Computer Cable (39), two Hand pulse
Cables (44) and Incline cable (36). Secure the Console (32) on the console mounting plate with
four M5x10m/m Phillips Head Screws (85).
