POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR                    PRODUCTS

Information Sheet 2010

NOTE:  Read and understand all instructions on this 

sheet and in the Owner’s manual before plugging 

any TRUE power cord into an electrical outlet. 
This information sheet will help you identify the 

voltage and cords you need where you live and 
will outline requirements for:

  Grounded, dedicated lines

  Voltage

  Power cords 

  Power adapters

  Extension cords

For example, in the United States some TRUE treadmills 
require a circuit rated 115 VAC, 60 Hz and 20 amps. See 
Figure 1. However, a home typically has 15 amp outlets. 
In this case, contact an electrician to install a 20 amp dedi-

cated line prior to use. See Figure 2.

to perform any modifications to the cord

is properly grounded or installed on a 

Place cords away from heat (such as 
baseboards). Use care to arrange any 
cord so it doesn’t become an obstacle. 

Grounded, Dedicated Line

TRUE equipment 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. 
TRUE cords (except for cycle adapters) have 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 where you live. Do not use a ground plug 
adapter to adapt the power cord to a non-grounded outlet. 
Do not use a GFCI outlet or GFCI circuit breaker.

Extension Cords

Do not use an extension cord to supply power 
to any TRUE product.

A dedicated line will assure that adequate power is

available for safe operation over the life of your  
TRUE Product.

 

Voltage

Voltage required for your unit is located on the serial 
number decal (usually on the front of the unit). Depending 
on where you live voltage requirements differ.
