Important Electrical Information

WARNING!

●NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. Large

switching currents of the drive motor will trip GFCI type outlets, as will any appliance with a large motor. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.

●NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.

●If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may

be affected. Such conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing. See Diagnosis Guide, page 27.

●NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use

outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity limit is 95%, non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-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.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (below) can be installed 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. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
