HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL STRIDER

HOW TO PLUG IN THE AC POWER ADAPTER

This product must be grounded. If it should mal-

function or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk

f electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord

o
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the AC power adapter into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. This product is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT: The elliptical strider
is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

DANGER: Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased 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.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL STRIDER

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical strider,
moving it requires two persons. Have two persons

lift the indicated end of the elliptical strider until the

lliptical strider will roll on the front wheels. Carefully

e
move the elliptical strider to the desired location and
then lower it to the level position. CAUTION: To

decrease the risk of injury, bend your legs and
keep your back straight. Make sure to use your
legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical
strider. Do not attempt to move the elliptical
strider over an uneven surface.

A temporary adapter may be used to connect the AC
power adapter 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 can be installed by a qualified electri­cian.

The green­colored rigid
ear, lug, 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. Some

2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to deter­mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
