Step 1 – Unpack & Verify Parts
Lay out all components: frame, console mast, 16" touchscreen, motor hood, handrails, water bottle holders, and hardware kit. Confirm everything matches the parts list.

Step 2 – Assemble Base & Upright
Position the treadmill base in its final location. Attach console uprights to the base using supplied bolts. Leave slightly loose for final alignment.

Step 3 – Mount Handrails & Console
Attach side handrails and secure the pivoting 16" touchscreen console. Carefully connect wiring harness to ensure screen and controls function correctly.

Step 4 – Secure Running Deck & Belt
Check that the 22" x 60" belt is aligned properly. Adjust tracking bolts if belt is off-center.

Step 5 – Connect Accessories
Install water bottle holders, fan system, USB-C port, and speakers. Confirm accessory tray fits securely.

Step 6 – Power On & Test
Plug the treadmill into a grounded outlet. Power up and test motor operation, incline/decline, fan response, and screen functions. Ensure Bluetooth pairing works with headphones.

Step 7 – Final Tightening & Safety Check
Tighten all screws, test emergency stop, and ensure deck cushioning responds correctly. Perform a 5-minute trial walk/run to confirm smooth operation.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Belt slipping? Adjust rear roller bolts slightly until centered.

Q1: What makes the X16 treadmill unique?
The X16 offers an unmatched 40% incline and -6% decline, a 4.25 CHP motor, and a pivoting 16" touchscreen for both treadmill and off-equipment workouts. Combined with SpringFlex™ cushioning and a 22" x 60" belt, it provides the versatility and durability of commercial-grade treadmills, adapted for home use.

Q2: Is it suitable for heavy users?
Yes. With a 182 kg (400 lb) max capacity, the X16 is engineered for durability and strength. The reinforced frame and spacious belt support intense workouts for a wide range of users, making it ideal for multi-user households.

Q3: Can beginners use this treadmill?
Absolutely. Beginners can start at lower speeds and inclines, gradually progressing. The cushioning and safety features make it suitable for those easing into running or walking programs, while advanced features support progression.

Q4: Does the screen require a subscription?
The touchscreen functions for basic controls (speed, incline, fan) without a subscription. For access to trainer-led workouts, interactive classes, and off-equipment programs, a NordicTrack/iFit subscription is recommended.

Q5: How quiet is the treadmill?
Despite its powerful motor, the X16 is designed for home use. The SpringFlex™ cushioning reduces noise from impact, while the motor operates smoothly. The loudest components are typically the fan and footfalls during sprinting.

Q6: What size space do I need?
The treadmill measures 177.5 x 96.7 x 186.2 cm assembled. Ensure a minimum of 1 meter clearance behind the treadmill and 50 cm on each side for safe usage.

Q7: Does it fold for storage?
No, the X16 is a heavy-duty treadmill built for stability and incline/decline performance. It is intended for dedicated home gym spaces rather than compact storage.
