OTHER SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR TREADMILL

OPERATION

To reduce the risk of damaging important components on your treadmill, it is strongly 

recommended that your treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp circuit, without 

the use of an additional extension cord and/or power strip. Failure to comply may void 

the warranty.

IMPORTANT:

 The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets. 

It is essential that your treadmill is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your treadmill has been 

exposed to colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that the treadmill is 

warmed up to room temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.

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 

to the right. 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.
