XE295 Assembly

Pre-Assembly

Unpacking

1. To remove the elliptical safely from its packaging, cut the straps along the dotted line on the bottom of the box, then lift the box over the unit and unpack.
2. Carefully remove all parts from the carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If parts are damaged or missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into four steps. Remove the tools first. Remove the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion. The numbers in the instructions that are in parenthesis (#) are the item number from the assembly drawing for reference. 

Tools and Parts Included

XE295 Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Console Mast, Console Cables, Stabilizers

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Locate the CONSOLE MAST (12) and CONSOLE MAST COVER (72); slide the Cover onto the Mast as far as it will go. Make sure the CONSOLE MAST COVER (72) is facing the correct way.
c. At the top opening of the MAIN FRAME (1), there is a COMPUTER CABLE (50) tied to a twist tie wire. Feed the twist tie wire and COMPUTER CABLE (50) into the bottom of the CONSOLE MAST (12) and out of the opening at the top.
d. Install the CONSOLE MAST (12) into the receiving bracket on the top of the MAIN FRAME (1). Be extremely careful not to pinch the cables between the tubing. If the cable gets pinched, this may affect the electrical functions of the console. Note: There is one bolt already installed in the receiving bracket that will engage with the slot at the bottom of the Console Mast. This needs to be tightened last, after the three other console mast bolts.
e. Place a SPLIT WASHER (#152) onto the BOLT (#105) and hand tighten through the left side of the console mast. Place a CURVED WASHER (#153) onto each BOLT (#103) and thread both into the front of the console mast tube. Fasten these front bolts as tight as possible with the WRENCH (155). Next firmly tighten the two left side bolts with the same wrench.
f. Connect the two HAND PULSE CABLES (48), RESISTANCE CABLE (44), and COMPUTER CABLE (50) to the back of the CONSOLE (43). Do not force the connectors; they will only fit one way and are different sizes to prevent confusion. Store the excessive cable in the CONSOLE MAST TUBE (12).
g. Attach the CONSOLE (43) to the bracket of the Console Mast tube with four PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#116). Tighten the screws with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (#157).
h. Attach the REAR FLOOR SUPPORT (15) to the RAILS (2, 3) with two BUTTON HEAD SOCKET BOLTS (#176) and CURVED WASHERS (#153) on each side. Tighten using the COMBINATION M5 ALLEN WRENCH & PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (177).
i. Slide the Rail Assembly into the MAIN FRAME (1). Insert one BUTTON HEAD SOCKET BOLT (#176) through each side and attach a FLAT WASHER (#137) and a BOLT (#130) to each joint on the inside.

2. Swing Arms

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Slide two WAVE WASHERS (#150) onto each side of the Swing Arm Axle. Slide the LOWER SWING ARMS (10 LEFT, 11 RIGHT) onto the axles and secure with the two HEX HEAD BOLTS (#99) and FLAT WASHERS (#141). Do not force the swing arms onto the axle. They should slide on, but you may need to jiggle them to get them lined up properly. The swing arms have been previously installed at the factory so they do fit properly.
c. Remove the tie that holds the spacer in the rod end located at the end of the RIGHT CONNECTING ARM (9) and line up the rod end with the bracket at the bottom of the LOWER RIGHT SWING ARM (11). Slide the HEX HEAD BOLT (#101) through the bracket of the lower swing arm and then through the rod end and spacer. Install the FLAT WASHER (#142) and NYLOC NUT (#192) on the bolt and tighten as much as possible. Repeat this step for the left side. Tighten using the WRENCHES (155, 158).

3. Handlebars

a. Gather all hardware for this step.
b. Slide the RUBBER SLEEVE (162) onto the LEFT (16) and RIGHT (17) UPPER SWING ARMS. Make sure the wide part is at the bottom.
c. Attach the WIRE (50) from the RIGHT UPPER SWING ARM (17) to the WIRE (49) that exits the CONSOLE MAST TUBE (12). Slide the SWITCH WIRE CAP (161) onto the wire with the wide side facing the Swing Arm.
d. Insert the UPPER SWING ARM (17) into the Lower Swing Arm. Fasten together with three HEX HEAD BOLTS (#159), two CURVED WASHERS (#160), and three NYLOC NUTS (#127).
e. Repeat Step C from above on the left side.

4. Wheel Covers, Side Covers, Handlebar Covers

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Fasten the two WHEEL COVERS (79) to the rollers with four PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#115). Tighten with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (#157).
c. Attach the LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE COVER (80) to the mid-stabilizer tube with two PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#115). Attach the RIGHT SIDE COVER (85) and LEFT SIDE COVER (86) to the rear stabilizer tube with two PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#115). Tighten all four screws with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (#177).
d. Install the LEFT HANDLE BAR COVERS (81, 82) and RIGHT HANDLE BAR COVERS (83, 84) over the handlebar axle connections with four SHEET METAL SCREWS (#119) on each side. Tighten with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (157).
e. Look closely at the four floor levelers underneath the middle and rear of the elliptical. If any of these aren’t in contact with the floor, use the WRENCH (109) to loosen the bottom nut. Once the nut has been loosened, turn the rubber caster clockwise until it makes solid contact with the floor. Retighten the bottom nut to prevent it from moving.
