with bare feet, wearing only stockings, or in 

sandals.

13. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor 

(not included), and plug the surge suppres-

sor into an appropriate outlet (see page

low-power devices such as cell phone char-

gers, into the surge suppressor or into an 

outlet on the same circuit.

of the specifications described on page 16. 

To purchase a surge suppressor, call the 

telephone number on the front cover of this 

manual.

15. Failure to use a properly functioning surge 

suppressor could result in damage to the 

control system of the treadmill. If the control 

system is damaged, the walking belt may 

slow, accelerate, or stop unexpectedly, which 

may result in a fall and serious injury.

16. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-

sor away from heated surfaces.

17. Never move the walking belt while the power 

is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill 

if the power cord or plug is damaged, or if
