GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If a elliptical should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product 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 local codes and ordinances.

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.

BEFORE

YOU BEGIN

This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration to the right. This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and observe if any other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit. Note: There are usually multiple outlets on one circuit. It is recommended that the elliptical be used with a 15 amp circuit for optimal performance.

OPERATION

To reduce the risk of damaging important components on your elliptical, it is strongly recommended that your elliptical is plugged into a dedicated 15 amp circuit, without the use of an additional extension cord and/or power strip. Failure to comply may void the warranty.
