Preparations
CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need
assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this
guide. If you do not assemble and use the FTS Glide
according to the following guidelines, you could void
the Precor Limited Warranty.
Required Tools
Tools that you need to obtain before assembling the unit
include:
❏ Standard set of metric hex keys
❏ Two ⁹⁄₁₆-inch wrenches
❏ Wire cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏ Step ladder
Note: Use box-end, open-end, or standard crescent
wrenches.
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling
the unit:
• Fill out and mail the warranty registration card.
• Set up the FTS Glide on a solid, flat surface.
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep
it level.
• Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for easier
access.
• Insert all fasteners in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the fasteners in the
same direction unless specified (in text or
illustrations) to do otherwise.
• Leave room for adjustments. With so many
assembled parts, proper alignment and adjustment is
critical. Tighten fasteners (such as screws, nuts,
and bolts), so the unit is stable, but leaves room for
adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until
instructed (in the steps) to do so.
Assembly Tips
• A black 6-inch scale with white numbers is provided
at the bottom of every assembly instruction page.
Use this scale to identify the correct fastener size.
The head of a fastener is not used in measuring the
length.
To find out the length of a particular fastener,
measure its shank (the long, narrow part beneath
the head). Refer to the following diagram:
• Silver fasteners are used within the silver painted
areas. Black fasteners are used when assembling
the gray painted surfaces.
• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
• Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
• While you may be able to assemble the FTS Glide
by reading the illustrations only, refer to the text for
important safety cautions and notes.
