IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
NEVER
use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a
large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including
the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER
remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more,
the performance of your treadmill 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 treadmill 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 operating temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees
Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill 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 230~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 by a metal screw.
