SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this treadmill. When using an electrical product, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this Horizon
Fitness treadmill.
WARNING!
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If a treadmill 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.
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 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter such as the one illustrated below may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The tempo-
rary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified elec-
trician. 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.

rective actions should be taken.
