OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM, 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 seriouslydamaged 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).

Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge

suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (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.

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunc-
tionor break down, groundingprovides a pathof least
resistance for electriccurrent to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. This productis equipped with a cord having
an equipment-groundingconductorand 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.

This productis for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plugthat looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing t below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressorto a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a propedy
grounded outletis not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

The green-colorad rigid ear, lug, or the like extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properlygrounded 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.
