Assembling the Treadmill 25
To begin assembly of the frame:
1. Gently flex the bottom front edge of the treadmill hood
forward and around the bracket at the front of the
treadmill base. Lift the hood off of the treadmill base and
set it aside.

2. Place the upright supports on the treadmill deck, next to
the base frame side brackets where you will be installing
them.
3. Feed the data cable from the treadmill drive unit through
the cable channel in the upright support on your left, from
bottom to top.
4. Place the upright support on your left onto its base frame
side bracket, making sure that the rounded edge of the
upright support faces you.
5. Secure the upright support to the side bracket using three
³₈-inch × 1-inch buttonhead screws and three ³₈-inch
narrow flat washers. Partially tighten the fasteners using a
⁷₃₂-inch hex wrench.
