How to Plug in the Power Cord
improper connection of the equipment grounding connector can result in a
RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE MAN 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 treadmill can be seriously damaged by sudden voltage changes m your home's electrical power Vollage spikes, surges,
and noise interference can result from weather conditions or from other appliances being turned on or off. To reduce the
possibility of treadmill damage, always use a surge protector (not included) with your treadmill.
Surge protectors can be purchased at most hardware stores. Keys recommends a single outlet surge protector with a UL 1449
rating as a Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) with a UL suppressed voitage raling of 400V or less and an electrical
rating of 120VAC, 15 amps.
This treadmill must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current, should the treadmill malfunction. The Keys treadmill comes with an electrical cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. Always plug the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the surge protector into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the drawing (1)
below A temporary adapter shown below (2) can be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. This temporary adapter should oniy be used until a nroperly grounded outlet (3-pole) receptacle
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored lug or equivalent 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. Some 2-pole receptacle
outlet box covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician to insure the outlet box cover is grounded before using an
adapter
