Assembly Manual 3
Basic Assembly Principles
Here are a few basic assembly tips that can make assembly of the Bowflex ® TreadClimber ® exercise machine quick and
easy.
1. Gather the pieces needed for each step prior to starting the step.
2. Turning towards the right tightens all the bolts and locknuts on your Bowflex
® TreadClimber ® . Turning towards the left,
loosens them.
3. All of the tools needed for assembly of your Bowflex ® TreadClimber ® exercise machine have been included. These tools
are only designed for one use. If damaged, substitute any commonly available 9/16” wrench and #2 screwdriver.
Note: A utility knife or scissors is necessary during the unpacking and assembly process
(not included).
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 20 inches (0.5 meters) on each side and in front
of your TreadClimber ® machine, and at least 36 inches (0.75 meters) behind it for dismount.
Make sure that the location you choose has a 10A 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 outlet 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 60 inches (1.5m) 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 when mounting and
dismounting the TreadClimber ® machine, limits static discharge when you touch the machine, and greatly reduces the
possibility of display or running errors. A rubberized mat will protect your flooring when you are performing repairs or
maintenance. Put your Bowflex ® TreadClimber ® Machine Mat in your selected workout area before beginning assembly to
protect your floors and your TreadClimber ® machine from damage.
