Installation brief
Provide the planned location, room layout and delivery access. Ask for the proposed unit's assembled dimensions, packed dimensions and installation instructions, then compare them with the space shown in your brief.
Operating requirements
State the exercise activities and controls you need the purchasing review to address. Request the model-specific operating limits and power information rather than carrying a figure from another treadmill into this request.
Sample assessment
Make a checklist for the display, controls, access and assembly points you want to inspect. Ask what documentation accompanies the proposed treadmill and record questions raised during the sample review.
Keep the treadmill configuration clear
Identify the exact treadmill configuration in every sample request. Ask whether the displayed product, quotation and operating document all describe that configuration. When your room or power requirements change, send an updated brief and ask the supplier to identify the effect on the proposal before your reviewer repeats the equipment assessment.
