This video demonstrates and explaines the major assembly steps for the Proform Cadence WLT, Crosswalk LT and other similar treadmills. Model Numbers PFTL29619 and PFTL29820.
If you are having trouble trying to "activate" or you just don't want to use the iFit stuff, make sure the power is on and the clip is in place, then just hold the square, blue button to the right side of the display screen down for 30 seconds or so, until the screen changes. (can't remember exactly what it did, but it was obvious!) You then can use it in manual mode.
*This is the second Treadmill friend I've owned **bestgym.equipment** t was easy to assemble and easier to fold than my last one. The controls are a lot better as well. I give it 5 stars!*
That may be true, but I'm sure you can tell they are not that close. step by step instructions can be found in the Built app which is nice as you can see the assembly in 3d from any angle. There is a link in your users manual.
My treadmill makes a loud creaking noise just by stepping onto it and continues creaking every time you take a step it sounds as if the board is going to break. I bought it used and the screws that connect the covers over the right and left.. won't screw in all the way
It does require a good deal of force as you are stretching out the drive belt and the walking belt must also be tight. make sure the area is clear of any obstruction and watch you hands so they don't get pinched.
@@efrainortizjr7493 I think some of these come with bad screw holes. I even went out of my way to wash my hands with dish soap trying to get the screw to go in. My power drill did it instantly with no screw stripping. As long as you make sure you don't over tighten it, the drill wont strip the screw. From my experience at least, can't say it will go that well for anyone else.
Does anybody find that the board feels like it’s going to break when you get on it I’m about 169 pounds and when I get on it I feel like it’s about to snap
I’m having trouble getting the roller brackets to close. Should I have to be really forceful in closing it? I’m afraid to put too much pressure on it thinking that I’m gonna break some thing. Thank you so much for this video you have been a great help I feel like I’m losing my mind trying to put this together. My last treadmill the conveyor belt part was already done when it came out of the box.
The video helped a lot. I'm having trouble with the belt moving to the right side when turned on and I can't shift it over unless the back feet come off and I lift the belt . It's kind of annoying.
The belt shifts when the idler (rear in this case) roller is out of adjustment and there is more tension on one side of the belt. The belt wants to move to the side will less tension. Use the L-shaped hex key to adjust the Idler roller adjustment bolts. There are instructions in the users manual and other videos on this channel that show how to do this. If you are pulling the belt and lining it up by hand, but not adjusting the position of the roller, the belt will not stay adjusted.
Good afternoon, I managed to assemble the treadmill thanks to your video, but when you turn on the machine a "HELLO" message appears and it does not let me do anything else, I would like to know if you can help me to solve this problem thanks.
the instructions to activate your console are at the end of the assembly steps in the manual. there is usually a large sticker with instructions that is placed over the display as well. To activate your console follow the steps in your manual or the instructions at ifit.com/activate.
Without more information I cannot tell but I think it would be worth making sure that the treadmill belt is aligned properly. Many units need a slight belt adjustment to keep the belt from rubbing on plastic parts causing abnormal noises on new machines. There should specific instructions for your model in your manual. You can also check out the belt adjustment videos on this channel.
Mine will not sit straight after everything done and I stand it up it just wobbles around the legs are just messed up in took it apart and redid it still sits bad
This model does not have leveling adjustors so it is important to have this on the best surface possible. consider the floor may not be level (particularly on tile and concrete in basements). moving it to a new location may yield better results. If there is a issue with one of the base pieces a replacement part can be obtained from ProForm.
Assembly wasn't too bad. I do have 3 leftover pieces of wood and some of my screws were too long .anyone else have the same issue? Was my latch screws and end cap screws by the feet
I'm not sure about the screws(id check each assembly step), the wood however is likely just for packaging as the only wood on the product is the walking platform.
Our treadmill making squeak sound where the belt touches the belt guides. Could you please show or explain how belt should fit the the belt guides, because in my treadmill belt is bent on edges, where the belt touches the belt guides. My treadmill is only 1 month old. Thank you.
It is normal for the belt guides to press on the belt. some noise is unavoidable. if the belt stays in any one position it can set up where the belt hits the guides but quickly goes away with continued use. You can curl the belt back by hand to speed up the process.
This video make it seem so simply, my wallking platform is not align with the holes for the bolts on the left side 🤷♀️ been stuck there for 2 days 😫 Need help or not sure if this one came with a defect from manufacture.
make sure you have followed the instructions in the users manual and left the instructed bolts loose. Most parts that do not fit well are a result of tightening some of the hardware before instructed. If you have defective parts you can contact the manufacture for replacements.
@@johnwaters3537 This unit does not have a frame that runs the entire length of the walking platform so it has a lot of flex. i have jumped pretty hard on the unit and been ok. I can't saw it will never break but as long as it is used as described in the manual and the user's fall within the weight limits you should be fine. if you are very concerned you may want to look into an extended service plan.
The platform moves around and bounces as if the woods going to break. I only weight 209 pounds and the compacity is 275 but Everytime I put it on any speed higher then 4 I feel it’s going to break. Is the wood really sturdy enough ? Or did I waste money.
Supposedly it is sturdy enough. I'm 185 and it moved pretty good on me as well. But I have jumped on the board and even encouraged heavier people to also jump on it and we didn't have any problems. I think you will be fine. Enjoy your treadmill. :)
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
what if i don't want to buy a subscription ? How do I get this to work ?? I just need it to go I don't need to see programs I just need the mouse wheel to turn... Parents are 82 and not tech geniuses
You should not need to lubricate it from new. The treadmill should not need lubrication more than 1 time annually. Please use the manufacturers performant lube. The lube should available from your local distributer.
its not super easy but you can pull the rings on the side of the brackets and pop the roller back up. it may be easier if you use the roller adjustment bolts and loosen the belt so there is not as much pressure on the roller.
I'm halfway through assembly and this happens: The storage latch screws (#10 x 1") do not fully tighten in the holes provided, nd we can't even use power drills...😐
The holes are intentionally very tight. You wan this connection to be tight to prevent the deck from falling when you don't want it too. The recommendation not to use power tools coms from the fact that I have seen may of the cast pieces, like the latch, crack with too much force.
@@FitnessEquipmentHelp That's understandable. I finally got the the top screw to go all the way in, and the bottom to go as far as possible. The bottom scree still cannot fully go in, but at least the storage latch is no longer wobbly 🥲 Thank you for explaining though
@@DAhardest1000 There is no requirement to sign up or pay for anything, instructions for activation are on that website. But Grey Fox is correct the console must be activated. If the console is active and you are still having issues this could be a wire issue or possibly something affecting the lower circuit board. Checking for loose or disconnected wires under the hood and for assembly damage may help determine the issue.
What is the horse power of this model? It doesn't show on Walmart online orc specs on Google. Please help... we are trying to make an educated decision.
No, this item has a fixed position walking platform. A similar model with a power incline would be PFTL39619. Check it out if you are looking for a power incline feature.
For some reason when I turn on the treadmill and pick the speed then start it won't work and I just got it. Is it something I have to activative on the app so it can run on its own when I get on it without always using my force, is there something on the app that makes those things work?
The belt should not be sliding to the left. does it return to center when you are not walking on it? Does this happen with all users? If it moves back to the center when you step off the belt then it could be the surface the unit is on and would try moving it to a different location temporarily to see if a more level surface helps. Also sometimes people will walk heavier on one side so it causes the belt to shift. If it does not happen with all users this may be something to consider. as long as the belt does not run into the deck rails or plastic covers it should be fine. I would expect a motor on this unit to sound more labored during a workout than units with a larger motor.
@@angelicaramon1839 If the belt is moving to the left or right follow the instructions in the users manual for centering the belt. The steps are also outlined in this video. th-cam.com/video/gGxaAV4MuYs/w-d-xo.html

This was so helpful, thank you
Thanks! Wasn’t interested in IFit!
thanx so much!!
Thank you.
This is clearly one of the best and thoughtful assembly videos I've ever seen. Thanks!
That was lots of help. One recommendation instead of just saying the screws show you taking them out of the package

Well shitt..... i fucking did it, by myself 😳😳😳😌😌😌😌 took 4 hrs haha but I wasn't always committed 😅 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This video was everything 🙌
Great😃
Thanks so much for this video!! I was stuck on step 16 with the roller brackets locking in place. I was about ready to return this.
This tutorial was a lifesaver !!! Thank you much
Thats great
Looks like this is the closest video assembly instructions for Model pftl29720. Thanks!

whoo hoo that was better than reading the instructions. I only have three screws left over instead of my average 8...lol impressive. lol

No force needed, just loosen the belt a little!
What’s going on with this activation machine won’t work
Storage latch screws extremely hard to get in with hand tools. Can I use a power tool for this step?
I had to man. I tried using all my strength to do it and just couldn't. Glad I wasn't the only one haha
@@Earl-- 😂 hell yea
@@SP-sq9yy Makes me wonder what the people that didn't own a power drill did 😂 poor fellas
I did it with my screwdriver no problem don't recommend using power tools u can mess up the screws head

The unit has a very flexible board and a short frame that does not run the length of the walking surface. Because of this I too get the same feeling.
I think that’s pretty normal.
Are the screws to the storage latch not suppose to be screwed all the way in ?
The storage latch screws should be tightened all the way in.
I’m having trouble getting the roller brackets to close. Should I have to be really forceful in closing it? I’m afraid to put too much pressure on it thinking that I’m gonna break some thing. Thank you so much for this video you have been a great help I feel like I’m losing my mind trying to put this together.

Yes, it takes quite a lot of force to stretch out the belts in the drive system.

What's the 4 wood boards for?
My thoughts exactly. I’m puzzled 🤔
If you’re referring to the narrow slats, I’m Pretty sure it’s just packing material, I also had two smaller ones included as well
@@eldonh4561 yeah I was just wondering, I didnt if they were needed
Mabye jusr fix it boom

Once I close the roller brackets, is there a way to open them up again?
Pull the pin and push up on the roller part.The first one will be a little difficult but the second one will come up easier.
I feel the wood platform alittle weak. My wife ready to use it i had no trouble putting it together easy work
