1.SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON

a.Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 8). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 8. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

b.After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console as far as it will

go.
