GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features 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 pow.er. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-

suit from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos-

sibility of your tread- mill being damaged,

always use a surge

protector (not in-

cluded) with your treadmill.

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector Into an ap- propriate outlet that Is properly Installed and grounded In accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

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 I below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-

tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out- let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

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

The green-colored rigid 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.
