need for an extension cord. You must have a minimum of 4 feet of clearance between the rear of the treadmill and any wall or obstruction.

TIP: If you are installing your PaceMaster on a carpeted surface, use a treadmill mat or a scrap piece of carpet underneath the treadmill to
avoid soiling of the carpet. Deep pile carpet is not recommended.

•

7/32” Allen wrench (supplied)

•

Grounding Instructions

DANGER: This product must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or
become inoperable, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric 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 all local
codes and ordinances. See example to the right.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding-conductor can result in a risk of electrical 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. This product is rated for more than 15
amperes and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts. It is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to
permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Attempting to bypass it with an adapter or in any way defeating its purpose can
result in a serious shock hazard.
As a safety precaution, unplug the treadmill during electrical storms or if the treadmill will not be in use for periods greater than one week.

CAUTION: If you need to use an extension cord it must be a 14 gauge, three wire cord, no longer than 12 feet.
