Exercising on a treadmill can help keep you healthy.
Having your own treadmill can be very beneficial for losing weight and getting in shape. It can allow you to get your daily walk, jog or run in, even if the weather is not-so-nice. Other benefits of having your own treadmill, include reducing depression, improved sleep, and you can use it in the privacy of your own home. Many places will charge you a rather large fee to put the treadmill together and calibrate it for you, but assembling a treadmill can be done yourself, if you want to save some money.
Instructions
1. Pull the two lead wires through the console masts, and use two bolts and washers to secure them both in an upright position, on the sides of the console. Take care not to pinch the cable while doing this. Lift up the treadmill's running deck, to engage the lock latch at the bottom.
2. Take the console out of the box and put it to the side, within easy reach. Lower the running deck back down to the floor -- by stepping on the lock latch -- found on the left side, near the bottom.
3. Attach the roller end caps -- at the end of the main frame -- on both sides, using two screws and a screwdriver. Retrieve the console that you previously set aside.
4. Put the console onto the console masts. Use your screwdriver, two bolts and two flat washers, to attach the console to the left mast, then tighten the bolts lightly.
5. Lift the right side of the console up slightly, to connect the cables and press the wires into the mast carefully. Use two more bolts, flat washers and your screwdriver, to secure the right side of the console to the right mast, then tighten all of the bolts completely.
6. Attach any trim that is left on the treadmill or console, using screws and a screwdriver.
7. Plug the treadmill into a power source, and test it out. Ensure that your treadmill has a minimum of six feet of clearance behind it, three feet around it, and at least one foot in front. Place your feet on the side rails, and turn the treadmill on.
