HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANG ER: Improper
connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor
can
resuJt in an increased
risk of eJectric shock.
Check with a qualified
eJectrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the

Your treadmill, 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
your treadmill
being damaged,
always use a surge
suppressor
with your treadmill
(see drawing
1 at
the right}. To purchase
a surge suppressor,
see
your JocaJ PROFORM deaJer or call the toll-free
teJephone number on the front cover of this man-
ual and order part number 146148, or see your JocaJ
electronics
store.
Use only a single-outlet
surge suppressor
that is
UL 1449 Jisted as a transient
voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS}. The surge suppressor
must have a
UL suppressed
vottage rating of 400 volts or tess
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 moni-
toring Hght on the surge suppressor
to indicate
whether it is functioning
properly.
Failure to use a
properJy functioning
surge suppressor
could resuJt
in damage to the controt system of the treadmill.
If
the control
system is damaged, the waJking belt
may change speed, acceJerate or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a fail and serious injury.
This product
must be grounded,
if it should maifunc°
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of ebc°
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 pJug the surge suppressor
into an appropriate
outlet that is properJy installed
and grounded
in
accordance
with aH JocaJ codes and ordinances.
Important:
The treadmill
is not compatible
with
GFOl-equipped
ouNets.
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-poJe receptacle
outJet box
covers are not grounded.
Contact a qualified
elec-
trician to determine
if the outlet box cover is
grounded
before using an adapter.
