result in an Increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-

i the plug provided with the product--if
it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet in-
stalled by a qualified electrician.
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 inter-
ference can result from
weather conditions or
from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
siblllfy of your tread-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not In-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
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 protector,
and plug the surge protector into an appropriate
outlet that is properly Installed
and grounded In
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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 protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let 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 elec-
trician to determine If the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
