Earthing Instructions

This product must be electrically earthed. If a malfunction occurs, correct earthing decreases the risk of electric shock. The power cord is equipped

with an equipment-earthing conductor, and must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

The electrical wiring must comply with all applicable local and provincial standards and requirements. Incorrect

connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a licensed electrician if

you are not sure that the machine is correctly earthed. Do not change the plug on the machine – if it does not t the

outlet, have a correct outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

If you connect the machine to an outlet with RCBO (Residual-Current circuit Breaker with Overload protection), machine operation can cause the

circuit to trip. A Surge Protector Device is recommended to protect the machine.

!

If a Surge Protector Device (SPD) is used with this machine, be sure that it matches the power rating of this equipment (220-240V

AC). Do not connect other appliances or devices to the surge protector in combination with this machine.

Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. Use the appropriate adapter

supplied with this product.

Before Assembly

Select the area where you are going to set up and operate your machine. For safe operation, the location must be on a hard, level surface. Allow a

minimum workout area of 200.7 cm x 317.5 cm (79” x 125”). Be sure that the workout space you are utilizing has adequate height clearance, taking

into consideration the height of the user and the maximum incline of the elliptical machine.

Basic Assembly

Follow these basic points when you assemble your

machine:

• Read and understand the “Important Safety Instructions”

before assembly.

• Collect all the pieces necessary for each assembly step.

• Using the recommended wrenches, turn the bolts

and nuts to the right (clockwise) to tighten, and the

left (counterclockwise) to loosen, unless instructed

otherwise.

• When attaching 2 pieces, lightly lift and look through the

bolt holes to help insert the bolt through the holes.

• The assembly requires 2 people.

• Do not use any power tools for assembly.

Machine Mat

The Bowex™ Machine Mat is an optional accessory that helps keep your workout area clear and adds a layer of protection to your oor. The rubber

machine mat provides a non-slip, rubber surface which limits static discharge and reduces the possibility of display errors. If possible, put your

Bowex™ Machine Mat in your selected workout area before you begin assembly.

To order the optional machine mat, contact your local distributor.
