of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an increased risk of 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 it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper ouUet 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 suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right}. To purchase a surge suppressor, see your Joca! NordicTrack deaJer or call 1-888-825-

2588 and order part number 148148.

accordance with aH local codes and ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCl-equipped outJets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like 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,

Surge Suppressor

Use onJy a singJe-ouflet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 tisted as a transient voltage surge sup- pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or Jess and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joutes. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring Jight on the surge suppressor to indi- cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properJy functioning surge suppressor could resuJt in damage to the contro! system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the waJking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-

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

This product must be grounded, ff it should maffunc° tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of ebc°

tric shock, This product is equipped with a cord having

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, Some 2-poJe 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.
