Gazelle SPRINTER - Axle Tube and Frame Assembly; Installing Axle Tube; Standing the Unit Up; Tightening Frame Bolts

J. HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
Attaching the Cylinders
1) Raise the hydraulic cylinder towards the top of the
swing arm.
2) Using a strong grip, pull the eye of the cylinder &
extend inner rod out (Note: First time loosening this
partmaybedifcult.Theprovidedallenwrench+
screwdriver may be inserted through the eye & used
as a “handle” to assist in pulling the rod outward.
After initial assembly, this should no longer be a
concern).
3) Guide the eye of the cylinder through the hook on
the swing arm (as shown). You may need to move
the swing arm slightly forward or back for proper
alignment, then insert the safety pin (located on
lanyard) into hook hole securing cylinder into place.
4) Repeat steps J1-J3 on opposite side.
Note: Ensure that the safety pin is fully engaged
through the hook. You will see the end of the
pin protrude through the bottom of hook.
Note: Attaching the cylinders also engages
the resistance.
Attaching the Hydraulic Storage Clips
5) Place the hydraulic storage clip on the front frame
below the cylinder & secure with the phillips bolt &
screwdriver included. Repeat on opposite side.
Storing the Cylinders
Remove safety pin (on lanyard) from hook. Carefully
disengage the eye of the cylinder from hook on swing
arm. Push rod back into cylinder. Lower hydraulic
cylinder down & push it gently into the hydraulic
cylinder storage clip. Repeat on opposite side.
CAUTION: Hydraulic cylinders MUST be disconnected
& in storage clip position prior to folding
unit. See Owner’s Manual for “Storing Your
Gazelle” instructions.
WARNING: When in use, the cylinders get very hot.
DO NOT touch & please keep children
away.
E. AXLE TUBE ASSEMBLY
1) Slide the axle tube through the left &
right swing arms & align axle tube to
properlytintoframes.Important –
the screw on the axle tube should be
angled facing up (as shown). This will
help will proper alignment of the
tness computer.
2) Insert bolts & washers into each frame
& axle tube end. Hand tighten only.
F. STAND THE UNIT UP
1) Lock the cable holders onto swing arms.
2) Stand the unit up as shown by lifting up
on the axle tube.
3) Spread the unit out & be sure frame
cables are tight.
4) Release the cable holders so the foot
platforms lower.
5) Be sure the swing cables hang straight
down, allowing the cables & swing arms
to move freely.
G. TIGHTEN BOLTS
1) Before tightening the axle tube,
make sure the screw in the center
of the axle tube faces angled up
(as shown). This will help for proper
alignmentofthetnesscomputer.
2) When tightening the axle tube, it may
be necessary to use both wrenches
simultaneously to tighten these bolts
securely.
3) Tighten front & rear frame bolts at the
bottom of the unit.
