Treadmill Operation
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking
platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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, always use
a surge protector (not
included) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with
a 14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding
provides a path of least
resistance for electric
current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. 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 drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may
be used to connect the surge protector 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-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the prod-
uct—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
