Circuit Breakers:
Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a
treadmill is first turned on or even during use. If your treadmill is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is
the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home
breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to
control. This part is available through most electrical supply stores.
Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at
www.squared.com part #QO120HM. The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated 15 amp circuit breaker.
Grounding
Instructions
This product must be grounded.
If the your equipment should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-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.
DANGER
- 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 dedicated circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed
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. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw.
