OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE

WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE

, a high-performance lubricant.

IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeÕs power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appli-
ances being turned on
or off. To decrease the
possibility of your
treadmill being dam-
aged, always use a
surge protector (not
included) with your
treadmill.

Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with
a 14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.

This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least
resistance for electric
current to reduce the

risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded
outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) 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. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet
box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

DANGER:

Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the productÑif it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
