INSTALLATION & OPERATION
Installation
If you choose to install your treadmill without the assistance of your Nautilus,
Inc. representative, follow the procedure given below:
Tools:
• Phillips screwdriver (12 in length preferable)
• small fl at-blade screwdriver
• 1/2-in hex socket wrench, torque wrench if available.
1. Grasp the controller uprights and pivot into position (Figure 1).
2. Align the holes in the base of the uprights with the holes in the upright
brackets; there are three holes in the bracket (Figure 1a). Fasten the
uprights into place with the hardware supplied with the treadmill: 5/16” -18 x
7/23” hex bolt, 5/16” lock washer, and 5/16” fl at washer.
3. Tighten each bolt securely with the 1/2” socket wrench. Tighten to 200 in/lb.
Do not overtighten.
4. Remove the treadmill hood and hood cover from the two boxes. Position the
hood on the treadmill deck and tilt as shown (Figure 2).
5. Slide the hood forward while holding it in the tilted position. (Spread the
hood apart slightly to clear the upright.)
6. Lower the hood, aligning the slots in the bottom of the hood with
the screws in the side rails.
7. With the screws engaged in the slots, slide the hood forward
approximately 1/2” and tighten it in place.
8. Align the two holes inside the front of the hood with the holes in
the side rail. Install a star washer onto the two 1/4” -20 x 1” in Phillips-
head screws supplied with the treadmill, then use the screw to fasten
the hood to the frame.
Due to regulatory requirements in some countries, your treadmill may
have a grounding bracket attached to each upright. Use the two #10
self tapping screws provided to connect the brackets to the treadmill hood.
9. To install the hood cover, place the cover over the tab on the
hood (Figure 3).
10. Lower the hood cover to align the three screw holes at the
bottom of the cover. Fasten the cover using the three 1/4” - 20
x 7/8” button head screws, fl at washers, and star washers
supplied. To ensure proper grounding, stack the hardware so
that the star washer is against the hood cover.
11. Align the holes in the hood with those in the hood cover.
Install three #8 black Phillips screws and tighten securely.
