OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-

performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

icone spray or other substances to the walking

belt or the walking platform. Such substances will

cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be

damaged by sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs

power.

To decrease the risk of damaging your

treadmill, always use a surge suppressor with your

treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase

a surge suppressor, see precaution 12 on page 3.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is

UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a

UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less

and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for

120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni-

toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate

whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a

properly functioning surge suppressor could dam-

age the control system of the treadmill (see precau-

tion 13 on page 3).

This product must be grounded.

If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This productʼs power cord has an equip-

ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.

Plug

the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug

the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet

that is properly installed and grounded in accor-

dance with all local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit

(see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to

connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if

a properly grounded outlet is not available (see draw-

ing 2).

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in-

stalled by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw.

Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not

grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter-

mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before

using an adapter.

DANGER:

Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor in-

creases the risk of electric shock. Check with

a qualified electrician or serviceman if you

are unsure whether the product is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug—if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-

stalled by a qualified electrician.
