CAUTION: Be sure not to crimp or pinch the

damaged by improper installation will not be
covered by the Precor limited warranty.
7. You can now access the mounting plates for the upright supports. Take the following steps to
secure the handrail/console assembly and upright supports to the base of the treadmill:
a. P osition the handraii/console assembly so that both the right and left upright supports
align over the base frame. Have your assistant thread the ribbon cable in front of the
motor as shown in Diagram 6.
b. Place a large internal star (lock) washer (I) on each of the two frame-to-base plate bolts
(H) and set the bolts within easy reach. Carefully lower the upright supports onto the
base frame studs. See Diagram 7. Align the mounting holes for the frame-to-base bolts.
While your assistant holds the upright support assembly firmly in place, use your fingers
to thread the bolts through the mounting holes and into the base frame.
Note: If you have any difficulty mounting the upright supports onto the base frame studs,
you may want to loosen the three upper handrail caps. See Diagram 7. Loosen (but do
not remove) the three bolts holding the caps in place on either side of the handrail. This
provides more flexibility in mounting the upright supports. Once you secure the upright
supports onto the base frame, be sure the retighten all six handrail cap bolts.
c. Take the four lock nuts (C) from the hardware kit. Use your fingers to thread a nut onto
each of the base frame studs.
d. To tighten the nuts and bolts, use a 1/2" socket head wrench with an extension (or 1/2"
box wrench). Start with the left and move to the right upright support, alternately
tightening the nuts and bolts until the four nuts and two bolts are secure and tight
against the base frame.
