I explain how to put together this T Series 6.5S Treadmill I bought on amazon.
I have been using it for 4 months now and think it a good treadmill for residential in-home use. I will post a review video eventually explaining all the pro's and con's, overall I would recommend this treadmill, but with that being said It the only one I have ever used for an extended period of time, so I don't really have anything to compare it to.

[@dreamEater99]

Thank you for the video. Was definitely helpful! Just a tip - you can skip the downloading of the app & bypassing the lock screen by placing the red emergency key and holding the IFIT button for 10-30 seconds.

[@waltsreviews90]

Wow, thats an awesome tip, thank you!

[@haywiremaguire]

After almost breaking my back pulling that thing through the front door (that thing is HEAVY!), I was feeling quite a bit intimidated and overwhelmed by the prospect of putting it together, and was seriously considering sending it back for a refund. After watching your video, my fears have eased somewhat. I think I might have a go at it after all. Thanks for going to the trouble of recording the whole process, that's very helpful indeed! 😎👍

[@kbrandl100]

This was very helpful. The only thing I would add is that I found it easier to hold the treadmill up with my hip when attaching the lower bolt on the storage latch. That way I had both hands free :)

[@AnishaD98]

I just put mine together by myself in about an hour watching only this video. I didn’t even look at the instructions. It was so easy. Thank you so much!

[@bischoffdp]

I don’t think I could have succeeded without this video. Took me about two hours but I made a few mistakes and had to backtrack. Thank you!

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad to help, hope you enjoy it!

[@Drewdahking310]

Literally just put together the entire treadmill using this video as a guide. Never even opened the instructions that came with the treadmill. Great Video. Solid treadmill for the price. Works great!

[@waltsreviews90]

That's awesome, hope you enjoy it!

[@lunadoelman7706]

This video is essential for putting this together, as the instructions are somewhat confusing. Thank you so much for this!

[@lauraoliver4278]

Seriously....a GAZZILLION Thanks! Watched this to assemble and then again when I needed to remove the Display so I could move the treadmill into a different room. Thank you!

[@gregslopek3173]

Thank you for this video. I just put our treadmill together this evening and your video made it very easy.

[@duncancheshire9768]

Having this video alongside the supplied assembly instructions was a fantastic help... you have saved both our sanity and probably our marriage! (slight exaggeration, but you get it... fewer arguments during the task!)

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad to help, and hope you are enjoying it now that it's set up!

[@bintubites2227]

😂😂😂if during assembling a new equipment you guys don’t argue you ain’t doing it right 😍😍😍😍😍

[@TOMRYANLUKE]

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU. I just bought this treadmill and your video made it so much easier. Again, thank you!

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome. Glad it helped, and thank you for watching and commenting!

[@yourgirlmeesh]

Thank you for this. It was incredible helpful, this took me and my husband 4 hrs to assemble would have taken us a longer time if we didn’t have this video!

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome, glad it helped! I guess the first workout for anyone is just assembling this beast...😂

[@splatmatt]

Thanks for detailing the assembly and showing the treadmill packaging. Tip: bungee cords or nylon webbing could be used to hold up the tread platform while installing the hydraulic assist.

[@waltsreviews90]

Good tip, thanks for sharing!

[@rocko6439]

I'm looking to get this one. I will probably watch this video a few more times. I'm sure it's not easy to capture/document every step when assembling this treadmill. It's not as if you assemble this treadmill for a living. Thanks for doing this. 👍👏

[@waltsreviews90]

No problem, you got it!!

[@kenjihayashi9086]

big thanks. I it wouldn't' have been finished a quickly or as smoothly without your video

[@Cheers2Babs]

I just got this and this was the most helpful video we found, thank you!

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome, glad to help!

[@DocZecon]

Incredibly helpful and detailed video, great job!

[@waltsreviews90]

Thank you!

[@christinetiger8326]

Lunch will be my favorite part of the assembly! Thank you for the video, hope I can do this!

[@Floortile83]

Weird. We're exact opposites. Assembly is my favorite part of lunch. I LOVE putting together sandwiches!

[@waltsreviews90]

Ha, lunch is the best part of any activity ;)

[@waltsreviews90]

Lol, good one!

[@DerekRyi]

Great video and very easy to follow, thanks for taking the time to make it

[@amybaker716]

I really appreciate this video! I had to go online to see exactly what I missing from my brand new treadmill. I unboxed it and removed all the parts but lo and behold, had NO HARDWARE KIT OR INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET!! Was a nightmare trying to call NordicTrack to get them to send me a kit. Customer service was terrible. They are sending me a kit but it is taking too long to get. I requested expedited shipping, they said NO. Still waiting but when rcvd, will come back to your video for help! Also, when I tried to do the end-of-call survey, the choices were 1 thru 5 for customer service and when I tried to select 1, it said that was not a valid selection...tried 3 times. Unreal.

[@ThaRealERAQ]

this is the only quality assembly video for this treadmill. He actually showed in detail each step. Some videos start with the thing halfway put together or show some dudes butt crack putting on the screews instead of a picture of what's actually happening. the only part I didn't understand was why my lunch wasn't showing up? Do you have to call customer support for that?

[@frozo5177]

Lol

[@isaacd7619]

This video rocks . I did it all by myself took 2 or 3 hours with many breaks

[@chouamae]

Thank you!!! This will be useful when I get my treadmill tomorrow!!

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome, hope you are enjoying the treadmill!

[@JB09224]

Great video instructions, very helpful. Thank you!

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@blake-curry]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is VERY helpful!

[@celebratecrypto3693]

Bro I been working on putting this together since this morning it’s been like 6 hours and I still have to finish the bottom underneath and then tighten up all the bolts so this ended up taking me a whole work day to assemble I wasn’t expecting it to be that damn much work lol

[@BuckwheatPlatypus]

Thanka for taking the time to do this video. I have to assemble one of these that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Doesn't look too daunting!

[@waltsreviews90]

Sure thing. You got this!!

[@DonaldG-qq4ol]

This is the best, thanks!

[@jjrox8930]

Wow. Nice video. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 😊 I assembled mine today with this video and instructions beside me. Finished it in 1 hour.

[@waltsreviews90]

Good work, happy Nordic Tracking!

[@bryangutierrez4801]

Thank you, I moved and disassembled most of it and the screws were all in a baggie but the manual mislabeled the screws and I was going nuts.

[@waltsreviews90]

No problem! Ahh, thats frustrating.

[@nagautube1]

great video, very helpful

[@franlopez5999]

Thank you for the video! It helped me immensely! I also enjoyed your review video.

[@DaanavMahashay]

This video saved lot of time.. thanks

[@waltsreviews90]

No problem :)

[@kmusic5944]

Thank you.. this will speed up my installation on Monday! ...By a lot!!!

[@waltsreviews90]

No problem, enjoy!

[@Twuntt]

Dude thank you so much! This was so helpful

[@m0rf92]

Very good video, took me 2 hours and 15 minutes with freeing space and unpacking, now that I know how to, I think it could take less time. Do you guys have any advice how often to oil it and how?

[@CtheLegend28]

Thank you for the video!

[@hectorflores2605]

Great Video, made assembly very easy. A+

You're welcome, happy to help!

[@AnnapolisvalleycleanersCaC]

nice. just got one. largely due to your reviews.

[@waltsreviews90]

Awesome, happy exercising!

[@reynoldobrown1506]

Didn’t even look at the instructions … thanks!

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad to help!

[@primrosed2338]

Thank you for this! I wish they would have labeled right on the area where the screws, washers, and L wrench etc. are; instead of only in the instruction booklet. Just made it more confusing.

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome!

[@michaelmilligan673]

I appreciate this bro 💯👍🏻

[@BillyRoyal43]

Thx for the video!

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome, hope you enjoy your treadmill!

[@M5_Sonu]

Thanks man!! was a HUGE help when assembling this last year.. Now ( since am moving ) I need to disassemble lol.. wondering if just removing the console will be enough ? Any pointers to minimize the disassembly for transport ? I need to remove t he console part at least since my gym room's door is rather narrow and the whole thing won't pass thru.. :|

[@HABIBINANI]

Do you have to use the surge suppressor or can you plug it right into the wall outlet?

[@waltsreviews90]

You can plug it right into the outlet.

[@NikStar210]

Thanks a lot!

[@adastraperaspera7098]

Cool, that's what I do.

[@itsmarge12]

Any suggestions if you pulled the wire through the leg and the whole thing came out without dragging the wire piece through

[@victoriakaplan2651]

Stupid question. I am not able to get the platform cushions to be on less firm for a more of cushion. What am I doing wrong? Please tell me how to place them so that I have more of a cushion when I run. I know it is easier on the knees. Thanks! :)

[@adriannasandoval9289]

So I just set my treadmill up and it took me 4 hours, after I was finished I realized I skipped the step of putting on the left and right base covers. In order for me to put them on I would have to reassemble the treadmill again. Do you know what the purpose of them is and if it’s necessary for me to put them on?

[@waltsreviews90]

I think those are purely aesthetic, so you should be fine!

[@RyanMiller3039]

What was the wrench size for the 4 boys in each arm that comes out of the base?

[@sakethphenom]

Are you able to align the treadmill to the exact center ? When I lift the treadmill it is touching left handle, I'm not able to figure where it went wrong. Do I need to adjust legs again ? Did you face similar issue?

[@waltsreviews90]

I didn't have any issues. My first thought would also be to adjust the legs. Do you have a level that you can check if things are balanced?

[@tbfit7808]

How easy is it to move once setup. For example, if I want to move it to the other side of the room.

[@waltsreviews90]

easy there are wheels to do that.

[@sb.yourstruly]

This is great, but mine did not go on at step 8 (23) the bars were way to wide to even connect the two sides! Idk what is wrong with the one I got but I had to order a replacement.. it won’t connect or reach for the life of me (us). Any suggestions please lmk!

[@waltsreviews90]

Oh no! My only suggestion would be to contact them like you have already done. Hopefully you are able to get the issue resolved!

[@Anythingandeverything1111]

THANKS!! But my shock appears to be too long and i cant compress it to fit at the bottom! Let me know if this has happened to you! I'm thinking about just calling customer support to see if they will ship me a new shock.

[@waltsreviews90]

I did not have that issue, but hopefully you get it resolved!

[@bored8715]

How mobile is it. I know it has wheels. Like once you put it together is it decent to move it if you want to move it one another side of the room. Or is it pretty heavy. I just got mine today and feel like i bit off more than i can chew. I got a small studio lol

[@waltsreviews90]

Well since you will be forced to see it each day you should be motivated to use it lol. I think you can move it easily to other side of room, but other than that pretty heavy to move by yourslef.

[@Tremain]

Is the crossbar from the console just sitting on top of the handrails without fitting in there firmly? mine doesn't fit AT ALL and I am having trouble even screwing it in.

[@HungryLioness]

Mine didn’t fit at all either!!! I had to return it! It was completely off

[@Tremain]

@@HungryLioness we called them and they sent a new bar that fit better but still not perfect.

[@bbshrimp]

the instructions say to leave the screws at the base of the "uprights" loose.... this lets you move the uprights about a bit so the console crossbar thing actually fits. I thought mine wasn't going to fit either so I had to loosen the upright screws some more to allow them to move more and it allowed the crossbar to fit!

[@fionafresh8435]

I didn’t have any problem with mine. Agree that it may be because you didn’t leave the standing upright bars loose. They should not be fully tightened until you have the crossbar and monitor on. Can you loosen them and try again?

[@MrTrytiped]

+1 to bbshrimps comment poles need to be loose before installing bracket for the screen.

[@m.braggj3739]

Any recommendations for the belt not moving?

[@ReesesCupsAreGood]

Question. Can this be moved through a doorway when it's fully assembled?

[@kmusic5944]

Really debating if I want to spend 2.5 hours assembling this thing ..might just pay for the assembly.haha

[@waltsreviews90]

Lol, that's an extra 2.5 hours of exercising!

[@OutCold9te6]

I cant get the top of the hydraulic stick attached. The gray metal ball inside doesnt line up with the hole

[@frankhernandez9472]

Great video I will say video does go pretty fast. And there some parts I wish you included that were skipped. Thanks for the video though

[@waltsreviews90]

No problem, hope it helps. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

[@thecookingshorts]

hey bud.. did you ever run into any screws not fitting in the holes?

[@MrCakePerson]

What would be the best way to take this apart and move it?

[@waltsreviews90]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I'd imagine taking the top part with the posts off of the track would probably make the most sense. Having never done it before myself, I'd advise that you make sure everything is sturdy before you move it cause those parts are heavy and will hurt if they drop on you!

[@rxcanflow1021]

Anyone know where I can buy an upper wire harness connector for this treadmill!! Please I can’t find it anywhere I lost that one plastic piece and I’m so mad :/

[@lisamelin352]

Any advice on how to disassemble this for moving?

[@waltsreviews90]

I would detach the horizontal and vertical components and try to avoid complete disassembly. Hopefully that gives you enough space to pack it up and move!

[@JK-rt5xx]

I am having really a hard time assembling this. The thing is, the sensor bottom bar of the top part is way shorter than the space between two bars, and the screws do not insert in their full lengths. Then putting the top piece just does not align. OMG...what did I do.... :(

[@waltsreviews90]

Oh no, these can be a bit tricky to get the hang of at first, but you'll get there!

[@JK-rt5xx]

@@waltsreviews90 Thanks Walt! I could manage to do this. 1) I had to squeeze two bars so that the sensor bar can get in 2) don't worry if the nails for sensor bar doesn't go far down but sticks out 3) don't worry if the sensor bar doesn't feel like it is correctly connecting to the top part(where the monitor is) 4) just drill in all the nails and then it will sort of align all together at the end. Haha!! Your motion of drilling in all things without worrying or aligning too sensitively made me to go for that and it worked out! Thanks!!

[@Jeff_Barab]

Has anyone been able to read the total number of hours and the total number of miles that the machine has been used? The instructions say to press the setting button button and it will show time and mileage. Mine has two numbers that never change. Just curious if anyone else has been successful. Thanks!

[@Bonita4Ever0812]

HELP! I have this treadmill, someone esle assembled it, i want to move it to another room. Could i unassemble just the front piece so i can move it? And how? It doesn't fit as is thru the door. 😭

[@antoinettepampena8000]

Can this be put together and work properly without having the arms? Purchased from someone but it doesn’t have the arms …

[@waltsreviews90]

If it's just the arms that stick out lengthwise at a 90 degree angle from the handles, then I'd imagine that you could probably operate the treadmill just fine. It doesn't look like they would contribute to structural stability, but they are there to help you catch yourself if you stumble, so that you don't land on the treadmill and get kicked back.

[@jar.c9146]

Hello, how can is eg up the incline

[@dreamEater99]

Tip: Not sure why my comment got removed, leaving it for other users: I bypassed the lock screen by placing the red emergency key and holding the iFit button for 10-30 seconds. Didn't have to sign up for anything.

[@waltsreviews90]

Not sure either, but thanks for sharing!

[@jalikwilder5357]

Thank you both a lot that trick still worked for me

[@utopianverve]

The hydraulic bar doesn't fit in between the upper portion to screw it in place. Am I missing something??

[@waltsreviews90]

I am not sure. There should be a piece you already on the bottom of the treadmill, there screw it there you remove it then put the bar there and then put back if I remember correctly.

[@Will13874]

how heavy was this item in the box?

[@danieldavis565]

Any idea how much the base of the treadmill weighs?

[@waltsreviews90]

Not 100%, but I think somewhere in the range of 200 lbs.

[@biankabritt4481]

About how much does the base weight??

[@fanaticmind]

Do I have to have iFit subscription in order to use this Treadmill?

[@waltsreviews90]

It's required for the coach-controlled interactive personal training experience, but you can use manual mode if you don't want to pay for that.

[@fanaticmind]

​@@waltsreviews90 ​Thanks for the answer! I really appreciate it.

Completely up to you.

What you mean app you need to pay more to able to used this treadmill?

Nah, you can still use it. Just doesn't include some of the extra features like preprogrammed workouts. Check this link out, it will explain it. www.nordictrack.com/ifit-faq

The square gromet at 2:24 absolutely does not fit into the square hole on my model. Maybe if I bust out a hammer and a chisel and go to town, but I'm not risking it.

[@DJkingFari832]

Warning when hooking up the bar for the screen it is not the same length . Very annoying he makes it all look so simple which it is but there are lil annoying parts

[@MrTrytiped]

The video was great but he could’ve mentioned to keep the poles lose tell the bracket for the screen was installed.

Is not letting me incline the treadmill 😢
