GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
If your elliptical has power incline with a 3-prong plug, you must follow these grounding instructions.
This product must be grounded. If a elliptical should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never
operate any product if it appears damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact
Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.

WARNING
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 110-120 Volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and observe if any
other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit. Note: There are usually multiple outlets on one circuit. This elliptical should be used
with a minimum 15-amp circuit.
