Keiser m5 User Manual - Unpacking The M5 Strider
UNPACKING THE M5 STRIDER
Step 1: Elevate the packed M5 so that the cardboard stapled to the underneath of the box is
accessible. Pry the cardboard flaps down and away from the plywood base. A standard
screwdriver may be used to pry the staples out of the cardboard and plywood. Discard the
cardboard box after removal.
Step 2: With the ratchet, 13mm socket and 13mm wrench, remove the screws securing the Top
Frame and Hanger-Pedal Mounts. The Top Frame securing screw must be accessed from the
underside of the plywood (Fig. 1). Raising the base will allow easier access to these screws.
Discard the removed screws.
Step 3: Cut all accessible straps and ties, being careful not to damage any parts (Fig. 2). Then remove
the loose parts and set aside. When cutting the ties securing the Handlebar be careful to not cut the
Computer Wire in the Top Frame.
Step 4: Remove the nut and bolt that hold the Pedal Mount stable (Fig. 3). Discard the removed
hardware.
Step 5: Carefully remove the M5 Strider from the packaging. Lay out all of the components and check
to assure all parts are present and undamaged. If parts are missing or damaged contact your local
dealer, distributor or Keiser Service Department. After unpacking and verifying parts, you are ready
to start your assembly. You need an area that is free of dirt, dust or other foreign material that could
impair the assembly of your M5 Strider.
