Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The treadmill 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 all local codes and
ordinances.
• 120–Volt Treadmills
Treadmills marked 120 VAC are intended for use with a grounding plug
in a nominal 120-volt circuit. Ensure the treadmill power cord is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with 120 VAC treadmills.
• 200 – 250-Volt Treadmills
Treadmills marked 200-250 VAC are intended for use on a circuit
having a nominal rating greater than 120V and are factory-equipped
with a specific power cord and plug to permit connection to a proper
electrical circuit. Ensure the treadmill power cord is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with 200 – 250 VAC treadmills.
If the treadmill must be configured for use on a different type of
electrical circuit, qualified service personnel should make the proper
connection.
WARNING
Connect treadmill to a properly grounded,
dedicated electrical outlet only. See the
following Grounding Instructions.
DANGER
Improper connection of the grounding connector
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician/service technician if you are
in doubt as to whether the treadmill is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the treadmill–if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
