sTread Lite Treadmill FAQ

The two mounting rails with part number 8 are included in the delivery, but are stored inside side panels 12 and 13 for transport. This can easily give the impression that the parts are missing.

Important: During delivery, the rails are inside side panels 12 and 13 and must be removed before assembly.

🔍 Please check the side panels carefully before assuming any parts are missing or disposing of the packaging material.
