DANG ER:
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.

BREAKING IN THE MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING PLATFORM
IMPORTANT:This treadmill features a maintenance-free walking platform. After completion of the following
break-In procedure, the walking platform requires no further maintenance. The walking platform must be broken
in completely so that the coating on the walking platform impregnates the walking belt. If this is not done, the
treadmill may function erratically. Follow the steps below to break in the walking platform completely.
1. Adjust the incline of the treadmill to the highest setting. (See INCLINE CONTROL on page 9.)
2. Adjust the speed of the walking belt to about 3 or 4 miles per hour. (See SPEED CONTROL on page 8.) Hold
the handrail and begin walking on the treadmill. Be sure to walk on all areas of the walking belt---not only
on the center. Continue for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the walking belt no longer slows as you walk.
3. To complete the break-in procedure, first stop the walking belt
and unplug the power cord. Lift each side of the walking belt
and apply the included lubricant generously to the area of the
walking platform shown at the right. This one-time application
completes the break-in of the maintenance-free walking platform.
IMPORTANT: The included 100% silicone lubricant is specially
formulated for this one-time application. Do not apply any other sil-
icone lubricant or spray. Such substances may damage the walk-
ing platform and cause excessive wear or premature failure of the
treadmill.
Apply lubricant to
entire shaded area.
Note: The treadmill may function erratically during the break-in procedure. The walking belt may slow to a stop or
surge in speed, and an error code ('El ," =E2," "E3," etc.) may appear in the SPEED display. If this happens,
remove the safety key, wait for ten seconds and then reinsert it.
