OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRmCATED WALKmNG BELT
Your incline trainer features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant, IMPORTANT: Never

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 incline trainer, 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 incJine trainer being damaged, always use a
surge suppressor with your incJine trainer (see
drawing 1 at the right}. To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your IocaJ NordicTrack dealer or call
1-888-825-2588 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 property installed and grounded in
accordance with aH Jocal codes and ordinances.
Important: The incline trainer is not compatible
with GFCm-equipped outlets.
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 Suppresser
Use onJy a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 tisted as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed vottage rating of 400 volts or Jess
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 jouJes.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring tight on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning property. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
resuJt in damage to the controt system of the in-
cline trainer, ff 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, if it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
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.
