Electrical Safety - Spirit XT385 Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

!
WARNING!
Route the power cord away from any moving part of the unit
including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC
power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the
performance of your unit may be affected. Such conditions
are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the
voltage is low, contact your local power company or a
licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this unit to rain or moisture. This product
is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a pool or spa, or
in any other high humidity environment. The temperature
specification is 40 degrees C, and humidity is 95%, non-
condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit breakers: Avoid AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers if
possible. These breakers may trip occasionally during
exercise because of the high inrush currents of the unit drive
electronics and motor. This is an issue that affects all unit
brands. New laws in your area may require these breakers.
If you do have these breakers and outlets in your home,
and are experiencing nuisance tripping, you should check if
there are any other devices plugged into the same circuit.
Some examples of devices that may also cause tripping are
fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, coffee maker,
space heater, hair drier.

Optimally the unit should be the only device plugged into the
circuit. Our units have surge suppressors built in to help avoid
nuisance tripping. We have tested several AFCI/GFCI breakers
and outlets with our products. Brands we have tested are: Eaton
(Cutler Hammer Series), Leviton (Smart lock pro) and Schneider
Electric (Canadian home series). These breakers do not trip in our
testing, when connected to our units, as long as no other devices
are plugged into the same circuit.
ƒ NEVER operate this unit without reading and completely
understanding the results of any operational change you
request from the computer.
ƒ Understand that changes in speed and incline do not occur
immediately. Set your desired work level on the computer
console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey
the command gradually.
ƒ NEVER use your unit during an electrical storm. Surges may
occur in your household power supply that could damage unit
components. Unplug the unit during an
electrical storm as a precaution.
ƒ Use caution while participating in other activities while walking
on your unit; such as watching television, reading, etc. These
distractions may cause you to lose balance which may result in
serious injury.
ƒ Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are
precision set to function properly with little finger pressure.
