OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRmCATED WALKmNG BELT
Your treadmHUfeatures a waUkingbeUtcoated with high°
performance Uubricant, IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive
wear.
HOW TO PLUG mNTHE POWER CORD
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of 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 ouUet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power,
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off, To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, aJways use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see
your JocaJNordicTrack denier or call the toll-free
telephone number on the front cover of this man-
uaJ and order part number 146148, or see your tocaJ
electronics store.
Use onJy a single-outlet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 Hsted as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed vottage rating of 400 volts or Jess
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 jouJes.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni-
toring light on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. FaiJure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor couJd resutt
in damage to the controJ system of the treadmill. If
the control system is damaged, the waJking beJt
may change speed, accelerate, or stop une×pect-
edty, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This product must be grounded. If it should maffunc°
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec°
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with aH IocaJ codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCl-equipped outJets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below, A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available,

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) 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. Some 2-pote receptacle outJet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.

to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate during
your workouts, Note: You must wear the optional chest
