OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

APPLYING SILICONE LUBRICANT

oil-, non-petroleum-base silicone lubricant must be applied to the

.walking platform before the treadmill is used. Failure to apply lubri

cant will reduce treadmill performance. WITH THE POWER CORD

UNPLUGGED, lift each side of the walking belt'and spray lubricant

generously onto the indicated area. Reapply lubricant after every

ten hours of use, or whenever performance decreases. Lubricant is

available at most hardware and automotive stores. Uni'Sport™ sili

cone spray is recommended.

codes and ordinances.

A DANGER

I Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of elec

tric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is proper

ly 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 in

Drawing 1.

A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Drawing 2 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-

pole receptacle 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 tike 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.
