OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
Use a Surge Suppressor
Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be
damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’'s
power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interfer-
ence can result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the
risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge
suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge
suppressor, see precaution 12 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 treadmill
and serious injury to users.
Plug in the Power Cord
The treadmill 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. The treadmill 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  t an outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a quali ed electrician. If you
are unsure whether the treadmill is properly
grounded, contact a quali ed 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 treadmill is not compat-
ible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be
compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.

be used to
connect the

a 2-pole
receptacle
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available. The
lug or wire extending from the adapter must be con-
nected 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 ed elec-
trician 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 quali ed electrician.
