ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Installation Requirements Your PaceMaster should be installed indoors on a flat, level surface near a 120Volt/ 15Amp outlet. PaceMaster requires a dedicated, nonswitched outlet that is not part of a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit, preferably no more than 5 feet from the outlet to eliminate the need for an extension cord. You must have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any wall or obstruction.
Assembly (cont’d) Step One: Carefully place the bottom of the upright (1) on the frame (2) so the two holes in the plate at the bottom of the upright line up with the holes in the frame. 1 Insert the 3.5” carriage bolts (3) through the upright and the frame. Loosely install a 1/4-20 kep nut (4) to each carriage bolt to keep the upright in place. Follow the same procedure for the other side of the upright. Do not tighten any nuts until Step Ten.
Assembly (cont’d) CAUTION: Make sure the treadmill is NOT plugged into the electrical outlet until assembly is competed. Step Two: With the upright loosely bolted in place, plug the black wire harness (5) into the socket (6) on the power supply board.
