CHAPTER 1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR 
PRODUCTS
Information Sheet 2010
NOTE:
!DANGER:
!CAUTION:
Read and understand all instructions on this sheet and in the Owner’s manual before plugging any TRUE power cord into an electrical outlet. This information sheet will help you identify the voltage and cords you need where you live and will outline requirements for:
•Grounded, dedicated lines
•Voltage
•Power cords
•Power adapters
•Extension cords
Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service provider if you are in doubt as to whether the equipment is properly grounded or installed on a dedicated line. Seek a qualified electrician to perform any modifications to the cord or plug. TRUE is not responsible for injuries or damages as a result of cord or plug modification.
Place cords away from heat (such as baseboards). Use care to arrange any cord so it doesn’t become an obstacle.
For example, in the United States some TRUE treadmills require a circuit rated 115 VAC, 60 Hz and 20 amps. See Figure 1. However, a home typically has 15 amp outlets.
In this case, contact an electrician to install a 20 amp dedi- cated line prior to use. See Figure 2.

Do not use an extension cord to supply power to any TRUE product.
Grounded, Dedicated Line
TRUE equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
TRUE cords (except for cycle adapters) have an equipment- grounding conductor and a 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 where you live. Do not use a ground plug adapter to adapt the power cord to a
A dedicated line will assure that adequate power is available for safe operation over the life of your TRUE Product.
Voltage
Voltage required for your unit is located on the serial number decal (usually on the front of the unit). Depending on where you live voltage requirements differ.
