Power Requirements

IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONNECTOR CAN RESULT
IN A RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
SERVICE MAN IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE PRODUCT IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE PRODUCT. IF PLUG
WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
This treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s electrical power. Voltage
spikes, surges, and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned
on or off. To reduce the possibility of treadmill damage, always use a dedicated surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. The manufacturer recommends a single outlet
surge protector with UL 1449 rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with UL suppressed
voltage rating of 400V or less and an electrical rating of 120VAC, 15 amps.
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current should the treadmill malfunction. This treadmill comes with an electrical cord
with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not connect other equipment to the surge protector or this could
cause permanent damage to your treadmill.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the drawing below.
