IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INSTRUCTIONS
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 operating temperature specification is 40 to
120 degrees Fahrenheit, 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 will 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.
