SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this treadmill. When using an electrical product, basic precautions

should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this treadmill. It is the

responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of this treadmill are adequately informed of all warnings

and precautions. If you have any questions after reading this manual, contact Customer Tech Support at the

number listed on the back panel of this manual.

Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding

instructions.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If a treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path

of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped with

a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt

as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided

with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration

below. This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, shut

off the power to that circuit and observe if any other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different

circuit.

Note

: There are usually multiple outlets on one circuit. It is recommended that the treadmill be used

with a 20 amp circuit for optimal performance.
