OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
Use a Surge Suppressor
Your incline trainer, like other electronic equipment,
can be damaged by sudden voltage changes in your
home's power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise
interference can result from weather conditions or from
other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease
the risk of damaging the incline trainer, always
use a surge suppressor with the incline trainer. To
purchase a surge suppressor, see precaution 13 on
page 3.
Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a
transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge
suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating
of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of
450 joules. The surge suppressor must also be electri-
cally rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must
be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could result
in damage to the control system of the incline
trainer and serious injury to users.
Plug in the Power Cord
The incline trainer 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. The incline trainer power cord has a
plug with a grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).
DANGER:
tion of the power cord increases the risk of
electric shock. Do not modify the plug—if
it will not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. If you are
unsure whether the incline trainer is properly
grounded, contact a qualified electrician.
Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug
the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. The outlet must be on a
Improper connec-
nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do
not plug other electrical devices, except for low-
power devices such as cell phone chargers, into
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same
circuit. IMPORTANT: The incline trainer is not com-
patible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be
compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.

A temporary

adapter may
be used to
connect the
surge sup-
pressor to
a 2-pole
receptacle
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet box
cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
