OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
PLUGGING
IN THE POWER
CORD
This product must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into an
appropriate outlet that is properly Installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANG ER:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Drawing 1.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
Drawing 2 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole recepta-
cle 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 quali-
fied 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 electrician to determine If the outlet box
cover is grounded before using an adapter.

about adjusting the speed and incline of the treadmill.) Adjust the incline of the treadmill to the highest
setting. Next, adjust the walking belt to about 3 or 4 miles per hour. Hold the handrail and begin walk-
ing on the treadmill. Be sure to step on all areas of the walking belt--not only on the center. The walk-
ing belt may slow or stop as you walk. Continue for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the walking belt no longer
slows as you walk. Note: If the walking belt stops and an "EEE" appears on the console, remove the
safety key, wait for 10 seconds, and then re-insert the safety key. IMPORTANT" Never apply silicone
spray or other substances to the walking platform or the walking belt. They will deteriorate the
walking platform and cause excessive wear.
