Safety Warning Labels and Serial Number
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service provider 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.
If you connect the machine to an outlet with GFI (ground fault interrupt) or AFI (arc fault interrupt), machine operation can cause the circuit to trip.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The tab for the grounding
screw 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.

Emergency Stop Procedure

The Treadmill machine is equipped with a Safety Key that can prevent serious injury, as well as prevent children from playing with and/or being
injured on the machine. If the Safety Key is not correctly inserted into the Safety Key Port, the belt will not operate.
Always attach the Safety Key Clip to your clothing during your workout.
!
When you use the machine, only remove the Safety Key in an emergency. When the key is removed while the machine is in
operation, it will stop quickly, which could cause the loss of balance and possible injury.
For safe storage of the machine, and to prevent unsupervised operation of the machine, always remove the Safety Key and
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and the power inlet. Place the power cord in a secure location.
The Console will display " ERROR SAFETY KEY ", followed by "INSERT SAFETY KEY ", for a Safety Key fault. The Treadmill machine will not
start a Workout, or will end and clear an active Workout, when the Safety Key is removed. Inspect the Safety Key and be sure it is connected to the
Console correctly.
