OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT
The Incline Trainer features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to the
walking belt or the walking platform. Such sub-
stances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause
excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANGER:
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 product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
The Incline Trainer, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
the Incline Trainer being damaged, always use a
surge suppressor with the Incline Trainer (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call
the toll-free telephone number on the front cover
of this manual and order part number 146148, or
see your local electronics store.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The
surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120
volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring
light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it
is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly
functioning surge suppressor could result in dam-
age to the control system of the Incline Trainer. If
the control system is damaged, the walking belt
may change speed, accelerate, or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
Improper connection
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The Incline Trainer is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 suppressor 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 elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
