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. 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 all 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.
If you connect the machine to an outlet with GFI (ground fault interrupt) or AFI (arc fault interrupt), machine operation can
cause the circuit to trip. This machine is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The tab for the grounding screw must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Emergency Stop Procedure
The Treadmill machine is equipped with a Safety Key that can prevent serious injury, as well as prevent children from
playing with and/or being injured on the machine. If the Safety Key is not correctly inserted into the Safety Key Port, the
belt will not operate.
!
Always attach the Safety Key Clip to your clothing during your workout.
When you use the machine, only remove the Safety Key in an emergency. When the key is removed while
the machine is in operation, it will stop quickly, which could cause the loss of balance and possible injury.
For safe storage of the machine, and to prevent unsupervised operation of the machine, always remove
the Safety Key and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and the AC input. Place the power cord
in a secure location.
The Console will display “ + SAFETY KEY ”, or add Safety Key, for a Safety Key fault. The Treadmill machine will not start
a Workout, or will end and clear an active Workout, when the Safety Key is removed. Inspect the Safety Key and be sure
it is connected to the Console correctly.
