Electrical Requirements; Grounding Instructions - Vision Fitness T80 Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

For your safety and to ensure good treadmill performance,
the ground on this circuit must be non-looped. Please
refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Your Treadmill is
provided with a power cord with a plug listed below and
requires the listed outlet. Any alterations of this power
cord could void all warranties of this product.
DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
All Vision units require the use of a 20 amp "dedicated circuit, " with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit.
The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker
has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans,
sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from
it, and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot "jumper" a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet
that will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100
ft or less, then 12 gauge wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10
gauge wire must be used.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The treadmill is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
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. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Vision
limited warranty.
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 a qualified electrician.
120V UNITS
The T80 treadmill is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a non-looped grounding plug. Make sure that the 110-volt treadmill
is connected to an outlet, NEMA 5-20R, having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
(This product is rated more than 15 A and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 V ²) and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use
on a different type of electric circuit,the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel.
WARNING
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears
damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.
