IMPORTANTELECTRICALINFORMATION
WARNING!
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any
appliance with a large motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any
moving part of the treadmill including the elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent
(10%) or more, the performance of your treadmill may be affected. Such conditions are not
covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company
or a licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this treadmill to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use
outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The maximum
operating temperature specification is 40 degrees c, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no
water drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents
that can occur when a treadmill is first turned on or even during use. If your treadmill is
tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit
breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a
high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect.This is a condition we as a manufacture have
no ability to control. This part is available through most electrical supply stores. Examples:
Grainger part # 1D237, or available online at www.squared.com part # QO120HM.
GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-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.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a 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 w ill not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 230-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet,
(shown below) 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.
