Installation Requirements
CAUTION: You will need assistance to assemble this unit. DO NOT attempt assembly
by yourself.
Follow these installation requirements when assembling the unit:
Assemble the EFX near the location where you plan to use it and provide
ample space around the unit.
Important: Consult your owner’s manual for proper placement of your equipment.
Assemble the EFX on a solid, flat surface. A smooth, flat surface under the
EFX helps keep it level, and a level EFX has fewer malfunctions.
Open the box and assemble the components in the sequence presented in this
guide. If you plan to move the unit, obtain help and use proper lifting
techniques.
Do not grasp any plastic part while lifting or moving the unit. The plastic parts
are not reinforced and they may break.
Obtain assistance. Ask another capable adult for assistance during the
assembly process.
Use your fingers or the appropriate tools to insert fasteners. Proper alignment
helps alleviate crossthreading. Do not fully wrench tighten fasteners until
instructed to do so.
Unpacking the Equipment
The EFX is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. The unit is shipped in
two boxes. Ask for help from one or more people to unpack and assemble the
treadmill. If any items are missing, contact your dealer.
Do not attempt to move the equipment by yourself. Have at
least one other person help you and use proper lifting
techniques.
To unpack the equipment:
1. Carefully cut and remove all plastic straps that secure the cover on the
cardboard box.
2. Lift the cover upward and set it aside.
3. Pull the cardboard or foam spacers away from the equipment and set them
aside.
4. Cut all plastic ties securing the equipment in place.
5. Remove and set aside the enclosed box and loose accessories.
