Before You Assemble
Basic Assembly Principals
Here are few basic assembly tips that can make
assembly of your
Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
exercise
machine quick and easy.
1. You can make the assembly process go faster
by gathering the pieces you need for each step
prior to starting the step.
2. As a general rule, and for all bolts and locknuts
on your
Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
exercise
machine, turning toward the right will tighten,
turning towards the left will loosen. An easy
way to remember this is by remembering the
expression, “Lefty loosey, righty tighty.”
3. All of the tools needed for assembly of your
Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
exercise machine have
been included. You may find the use of a utility
knife or scissors beneficial during the unpacking
and assembly process.
Select Your Workout Area
Select where you are going to put your Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
exercise machine carefully. The
best place for your TreadClimber
®
machine is on a
hard, level surface. You will need at least two feet
on each side and in front of your TreadClimber
®
machine, and at least three feet behind it for
dismount.
Make sure that the location you choose has a
grounded, 3-prong power outlet within reach of
the TreadClimber
®
machine power cord, preferably
to the right side of the machine where you will be
less likely to step on the cord during dismount.
NOTE: The TreadClimber
®
machine 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
TreadClimber
®
machine that require you to lay it
on its side, you will need at least five feet to one
side of your workout area.
Machine Mat
The Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
Machine Mat is an
optional accessory for the TreadClimber
®
machine
that helps keep your workout area free from debris
and dust. The rubber machine floor mat provides a
non-slip surface for you to use when mounting and
dismounting the TreadClimber
®
machine and limits
static discharge when you touch the machine—
greatly reducing the possibility of display or
running errors. Further, a rubberized mat will
protect your flooring when you are performing
repairs or maintenance on the TreadClimber
®
machine.
Put your Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
Machine Mat in
place in your selected workout area before you
start assembly to protect your floors and your
TreadClimber
®
machine from damage.
Positioning Your TreadClimber
®
Machine
Take great care when moving your TreadClimber
®
machine into place prior to assembly.
There are two handles for lifting on the back of the
base and two wheels on either side of the front of
the base beneath the console. The TreadClimber
®
machine requires 90 pounds of force to raise
the base the 30 degrees necessary to roll it on
the front wheels for storage or cleaning. As this
is a considerable amount of force, it is highly
recommended that you do not attempt to ever lift or
move the TreadClimber
®
machine without help.
When you assemble the TreadClimber
®
machine,
you will need at least two people to set the base
in place, place the treadles, and lift the handlebar
assembly.
