This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical power.  Voltage 
spikes, surges, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or 
off.  To reduce the possibility of treadmill damage, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill. 

Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores.  The manufacturer recommends a single outlet surge 
protector with a UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with a UL suppressed voltage 
rating of 400V or less and an electrical rating of 120VAC, 15 amps. 

This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock.  Grounding provides a path of least resistance 
for electric current, should the treadmill malfunction.  This treadmill comes with an electrical cord having an 
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.  Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug 
the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances. 

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the 
drawing (1) below.
