Portant Electeical Instructions; Grounding - SOLE F80 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any ap- pliance with a
large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill
including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power.
If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be af- fected. Such
conditions are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power
company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors, near a
pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The maximum operating temperature specification is
40 degrees c, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur
when a treadmill is first turned on or even during use. lf your treadmill is tripping the house circuit breaker
(even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will
need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition
we as a manufacture have no ability to control. This part is available through most electrical supply stores.
Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at www.squared.com part # QO120HM.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding plug. The plug 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 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 aqualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 220~240-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid earlug, 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.
