How to Level the Lifestride Trainer

The Lifestride 5500 must be leveled where it will be operated.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE TREADMILL BE

CORRECTLY LEVELED FOR PROPER OPERATION. AN UNSTABLE UNIT MAY CAUSE STRIDING BELT MISALIGNMENT.

The treadmill striding belt is properly centered at the factory; however, the leveling legs may need to be readjusted at the location in which the unit is placed.

Grounding Instructions

For safe operation, the Lifestride trainer must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for an electrical current, which reduces the risk of electrical shock to someone touching or using the unit. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord which includes 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.

A temporary adapter, similar to the adapter above, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle ifa properly grounded outlet is

not available (U.S. and Canada). THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER

SHOULD BE USED ONLY UNTIL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET CAN BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

DANGER: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in

doubt as to proper grounding techniques. Do not modify the

plug provided with the product. If it does not fit your

electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.
