GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If a treadmill should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path

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-volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the illustration.
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.
It is recommended that the treadmill be used with a 15
amp circuit for optimal performance.
