Electrostatic Shock

BEGIN HERE
It is not uncommon for static to build
up on any machine with a moving belt.
The machine is designed to properly
minimize static build up. However if it
happens, avoid wearing loose or
baggy clothes. Also put hair up in a
pony tail, if applicable.
How often is the machine used and
when was the machine last lubricated?
Refer to the Owner's Manual for
lubrication maintenance.
If problem persists purchase a
treadmill anti-static wrist band / strap.

While the machine is unplugged,
check the plastic covers to ensure that
they do not rub the belts.
Is the machine being used with an
extension cord? The machine must
plug directly into a properly grounded
outlet.
If an extension cord needs to be used,
it must be a 3 prong, 14 gauge
extension cord.
The machine must be plugged into a
properly wired 3-prong power outlet.
If unsure about the wiring, purchase a
receptacle tester to test the outlet.
These can be found online with a
search for "receptacle tester", or visit a
local hardware store.
