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 mecha-
nism and transport wheels.
NEVER
remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the perfor-
mance 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 Celsius, and humidity is 95%, non-con-
densing (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 tread-
mill 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 break-
er 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 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, extend-
ing 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.
