Basic Assembly Principles

are provided.
You
may find the use of a utility knife or scissors beneficial during the unpacking process.

Select Your Workout Area
Select where you are going to put your
Bowflex
® 3, 5, and 7 Series treadmill carefully. The best place for your treadmill is on a hard,
level surface. You will need at least 20 inches (.5 meters) on each side of the treadmill and 79 inches (2 meters) behind your treadmill for
dismount.
Make sure that the location you choose has a grounded, 3-prong power outlet within reach of the treadmill power cord, and you have
the appropriate power cord for the outlet.
NOTE: The Bowflex
® 3, 5, and 7 Series treadmill
is designed to plug into a grounded, non-GFI outlets only. To determine if your outlet
or circuit breaker is GFI, look for a test and reset button on them. If they have the test and reset button it is a GFI outlet or
circuit breaker.
Further, if you ever perform any repairs on your treadmill that require you to lay it on its side, you will need at least five feet to one side
of your workout area.
