IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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, ground-
ing 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 220-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 temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet 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.
