POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR
NOTE: Read and understand all instructions on this
sheet and in the Owner's manual before plugging
any TRUE power cord into an electrical outlet.
This information sheet will help you identify the
voltage and cords you need where you live and
will outline requirements for:
• Grounded, dedicated lines
• Voltage
• Power cords
• Power adapters
• Extension cords
!DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service provider if you are
in doubt as to whether the equipment
is properly grounded or installed on a
dedicated line. Seek a qualified electrician
to perform any modifications to the cord
or plug. TRUE is not responsible for
injuries or damages as a result of cord or
plug modification.
!CAUTION:
Place cords away from heat (such as
baseboards). Use care to arrange any
cord so it doesn't become an obstacle.
Extension Cords
Do not use an extension cord to supply power
to any TRUE product.
Grounded, Dedicated Line
TRUE equipment 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.
TRUE cords (except for cycle adapters) have an equipment-
grounding conductor and a 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 where you live. Do not use a ground plug
adapter to adapt the power cord to a non-grounded outlet.
Do not use a GFCI outlet or GFCI circuit breaker.
A dedicated line will assure that adequate power is
available for safe operation over the life of your
TRUE Product.
Voltage
Voltage required for your unit is located on the serial
number decal (usually on the front of the unit). Depending
on where you live voltage requirements differ.

Chapter 1: Safety Instructions
For example, in the United States some TRUE treadmills
require a circuit rated 115 VAC, 60 Hz and 20 amps. See
Figure 1. However, a home typically has 15 amp outlets.
In this case, contact an electrician to install a 20 amp dedi-
cated line prior to use. See Figure 2.
