IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
NEVER
use a RCD - Residual Current Device (U.S. ver.= GFCI) - wall outlet with this treadmill.
As with any appliance with a large motor, the RCD/GFCI will trip often. Route the power mains
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 temperature specification is 40
degrees c, 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 normal use. If your treadmill is tripping the circuit
breaker (even though it is the proper current rating and the treadmill is the only appliance on the circuit)
but the circuit breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the 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.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded.
If the treadmill’s electrical system 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.
