OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walkingbelt 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 othertype 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 appli-

ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-

sibility of your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local Sears or call 1-800-366-

7278 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
GFCl-equipped outlets.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and hasa groundingplugthatlookslikethe plugillus-
trated indrawing 1 below. A temporaryadapter that

used to connect the surgesuppressorto a 2-pole

Grounding Plug

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

monitoring 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 itshouldmalfunc-

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

Metal Screw

The temporary adapter shouldbe used only until a
properly grounded outlet(drawing 1) can be installed

by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the likeextending
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-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.
