OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmillfeatures a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking

belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

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 usa a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (sea drawing 1 at

the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-800-806-

3651 and order part number 146148.

an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug,Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-voltcircuit,
and has a grounding plug that lookslike the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole

receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly

grounded outlet is not available.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.

The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a

monitodng light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to

use a properly functioning surge suppressor could

result In damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-

edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tionor break down,grounding providesa path of least

resistance for electric currentto reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

The temporary adapter shouldbe used only untila

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored dgid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a propedy 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 elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.
