14 Assembling and Maintaining the EFX 821 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer
Begin installation of all fasteners by hand, then partially
tighten them. Do not fully tighten fasteners until
instructed to do so.
Important: When wrench-tightening the screws, make sure
the head of the fastener is parallel to the product surface. If it
is not, stop tightening to avoid cross-threading. To avoid
further damage, stop assembly work and contact Customer
Support.
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when assembling the
unit:
Assemble the unit near the location where you plan to
use it.
Provide ample space around the unit.
Open space around the unit allows for easier access.
Set up the unit on a solid, flat surface.
A smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it level. A
level unit has fewer malfunctions.
Open the box and assemble the components in the
sequence presented in this guide.
The unit is shipped in one box. Ask for help from two or
more people to unpack and assemble the Climber.
Insert all fasteners with your fingers.
Use your fingers to properly align and thread the
fasteners. This helps alleviate cross-threading. Do not
fully wrench tighten fasteners until instructed to do so.
Important: When wrench tightening, the head of the fastener
should be flush with the product. If it is not, cross-threading
may have occurred. Do not attempt to rework the assembly as
more damage to the equipment will occur. Contact Customer
Support. Refer to Obtaining Service.
If you plan to move the unit, obtain help and use a hand
truck.
Do not grasp any plastic parts while lifting or moving the
unit. The plastic parts are not capable of supporting the
weight of the unit and they may break.
