    ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The Life Fitness 9500HR treadmill must be properly grounded. Should it malfunction, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, reducing the risk of electrical shock to you or anyone touching or using the unit. Each treadmill has an electrical cord with a grounding conductor and plug.
