OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides 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 an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
A DANGER
' 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 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.
MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a maintenance-free walking belt. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or
other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. They will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
