Getting To Know Your Machine

Power Cord Information

Nautilus, Inc. sells its products in many different countries some of which have different power cord and power outlet configurations. For locations where the furnished cord(s) are not suitable, contact your local dealer or service provider to find where a local high quality power cord meeting the following technical requirements is available. Do not attempt to use the treadmill without the proper power cord appropriate for your country and location.

Plug the power cord of the treadmill directly into a dedicated grounded circuit carrying 15 amps (110 Volt model) or 7 amps (220 Volt model) . We recommend the use of a surge protector. Position the treadmill so that the wall plug is visible and accessible. If the Bowflex® Treadmill power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new power cord from Nautilus, Inc. Please contact your local dealer or Nautilus, Inc. directly.

DepenDing upon your region you will have one of the following power corDs.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The power cord is equipped with 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.

• Position the treadmill on a clear, level surface. Do not place the treadmill on thick carpet as it may interfere with proper ventilation. Treadmill mats can usually be purchased from your treadmill dealer.
