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.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re­sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos­sibility of your tread­mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in­cluded) with your
treadmill.

rounded in accordance with all local codes and

g
ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus­trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep­tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out­let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored 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.

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