IMPORTANT
ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
NEVER
remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more,
the performance of your recumbent bike may be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If
you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER
expose this recumbent bike to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a
pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 40 degrees C, and
humidity is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit breakers:
Avoid AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers if possible. These breakers may trip occasionally during use
because of the high inrush currents from the recumbent bike drive motor. This condition is an issue with all
recumbent bike and other products with large motors or electric heating elements like ovens.
New laws in your area may require these breakers. If you do have these breakers and outlets in your home and
are experiencing nuisance tripping, you should check to see if there are any other devices plugged into the same
circuit like fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, coffee maker, space heater, etc. Optimally the recumbent bike
should be the only device plugged into the circuit.
Our bikes have surge suppressors built in to help avoid nuisance tripping. We have tested several AFCI/GFCI
breakers and outlets with our products that do not trip when only the recumbent bike is connected. Brands we have
tested are: Eaton (Cutler Hammer Series), Leviton (Smart lock pro) and Schneider Electric (Canadian home series).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded.
If the recumbent bike 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
120-volt 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.
