IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
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 temperature specification is 5- 48 degrees Celsius (40 -
120F), 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 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’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 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 by a metal screw.
Failure to follow all guidelines may compromise the effectiveness of the exercise experience, expose
yourself (and possibly others) to injury, and reduce the longevity of the equipment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!
