Grounding Instructions - Stairmaster STEPMILL 7000 Owner's Manual

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, ground-
ing provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, thereby reducing
the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A in the Drawing below. International machines may vary. It
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING
CONNECTOR CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK
WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU ARE IN
DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE MACHINE IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO
NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THIS MACHINE. IF IT WILL NOT
FIT THE AVAILABLE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and
C may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever an adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
