OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

HE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high­performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-

cone spray or other substances to the walking

i
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive
wear.

ric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having

t
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,

and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate

utlet that is properly installed and grounded in

o
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric 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.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your homeʼs 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). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call the telephone
number on the front cover of this manual and order
part number 146148, or see your local electronics
store.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus­trated 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 Suppressor

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. There must be a moni­toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
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, accelerate, or stop unexpect­edly, 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-

Lug

Metal Screw

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-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec­trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
