XG400 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

XG400 Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Console and Console Cables

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Feed the COMPUTER CABLE (95) up through the console mast tube (pulse grip posts at the top) with the end of the twist tie that is attached to it.
c. Place the CONSOLE MAST TUBE onto the mating plate of the main frame; Be careful not to pinch the computer cable between the console mast and the main frame plates during assembly.
d. Secure the console mast in place with the four stainless steel BOLTS (#42) and SPLIT WASHERS (#50). Make sure the bolts are securely tightened using the 8mm Allen WRENCH (108).
e. Attach the CONSOLE (78) to the bracket with four PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#12) using the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (107).
f. Attach the HAND BRAKE LEVER (90) to the handlebars as follows: 

i. Remove the screw that is threaded into the nut on the backside of the hand brake with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (107).
ii. Place the hand brake bracket around the front of the right handlebar vertical tube, then insert the bolt through the back of the bracket and thread back into the nut. Tighten with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (107).

2. Swing Arms

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Remove the foam from the console mast axles and the plastic ties from the tubes that slide onto the console mast axles.
c. Slide the TWO SWING ARMS (8-R, 9-LEFT) onto the console mast axle through a WAVE WASHER (#31). There is a left and right swing arm (marked with an “R” and an “L”) so make sure you assemble the correct one on each side. Do not force the arms onto the axle or use a hammer, as damage to the bearings could occur. The swing arms have been previously installed at the factory and should fit properly, although it is a snug fit.
d. Secure the swing arms in place with the stainless steel bolts (40; FLAT SIDE OF WASHERS SHOULD BE ON THE OUTSIDE) and CUP WASHERS (#24) and tighten with the WRENCH (116). Snap the DECORATIVE CAPS (67) over the cup washers.
e. Install the FOOT PEDALS (72-L, 73-R) with eight PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#45) and tighten with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (107). The pedals are identified with an L or R on the bottom.
f. Attach the WATER BOTTLE HOLDER (66) to the console mast tube with two PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS (#45). Place the BRAKE CABLE (90) behind the holder to keep it out of the way of operation. Tighten the screws with the PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER (107).

3. Transport Wheels and End Caps

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Attach the TRANSPORT WHEELS (77) to each bracket with the two BOLTS (#44) and NUTS (#34). Partially tighten with the WRENCHES provided (110, 111). Be careful not to over-tighten! Over-tightening the hardware won’t allow the wheels to rotate.
c. Snap the four END CAPS (67) onto the cup washers on the left and right pedal arm assemblies.

4. Attach Swing Arms to Pedals

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Assemble the brackets at the bottom of the swing arms to the pedal arms using a shoulder BOLT (#55) and a NUT (#56) on each side. Tighten securely with the WRENCHES provided (109, 116).

5. Levelers and Brake Cable

a. Gather all hardware needed for this step.
b. Tilt the E-Glide Trainer to one side and put something under the unit for support and install the three LEVELERS (#83) for that side. Tilt the unit to the other side and install the remaining three LEVELERS (#83). Level the E-Glide Trainer once it is positioned where it will be used. Screw the two middle levelers all the way in and the front and rear levelers all the way in, then back them out about two or three turns. Level the unit using only the front and rear levelers first, then adjust the middle levelers so they touch the floor. MAKE SURE TO LOCK THE LEVELERS WHEN FINISHED.
c. Press the six PLASTIC END CAPS (#71) into the oval stabilizer tubes.
d. Unlock the black lever located near the flywheel at the end of the BRAKE CABLE (90). This is locked for shipping purposes, but also serves as a safety lock mechanism to prevent unauthorized use of this machine.
