HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANGER: Improper connec- tion of the equipment-grounding conductor increases the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure whether the product is prop- erly grounded. Do not modify the plug—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in- stalled by a qualified electrician.
Your incline trainer, like other electronic equipment, can be damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s power. To decrease the risk of damaging your incline trainer, always use a surge suppres- sor with your incline trainer (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see precau- tion 12 on page 3.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup- pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni- toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly-functioning surge suppressor could dam- age the control system of the incline trainer (see precaution 13 on page 3).
This product must be grounded. If it should mal- function or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product’s power cord has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug the surge suppressor into an appropri- ate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. IMPORTANT: The incline trainer is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be com- patible with AFCI-equipped outlets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit (see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly-grounded outlet is not available (see drawing 2).

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly-grounded outlet (see drawing 1) can be in- stalled 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. The adapter must be held in place by a metal screw.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to de- termine if the outlet box cover is grounded before using an adapter.
