OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
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
s bstances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. S ch s bstances will deteriorate the walking
belt and ca se 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 appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the pos-
sibility of yo r treadmill being damaged, always
se a s rge s ppressor with yo r treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To p rchase a s rge s p-
pressor, see yo r local SEARS or call toll-free 1-
800-366-7278 and order part n mber 146148.
Use only a single-o tlet s rge s ppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage s rge s p-
pressor (TVSS). The s rge s ppressor m st have a
UL s ppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minim m s rge dissipation of 450 jo les.
The s rge s ppressor m st be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There m st be a
monitoring light on the s rge s ppressor to indi-
cate whether it is f nctioning properly. Fail re to
se a properly f nctioning s rge s ppressor co ld
res lt in damage to the control system of the
treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop nexpect-
edly, which may res lt in a fall and serio s inj ry.
This prod ct m st be gro nded. If it should malfunc-
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. Pl g the power cord into a s rge s ppressor,
and pl g the s rge s ppressor into an appropriate
o tlet that is properly installed and gro nded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-eq ipped o tlets.
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-pole receptacle o tlet box
covers are not gro nded. Contact a q alified elec-
trician to determine if the o tlet box cover is
gro nded before sing an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
of the eq ipment-gro nding cond ctor can
res lt in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a q alified electrician or service-
man if yo are in do bt as to whether the
prod ct is properly gro nded. Do not modify
the pl g provided with the prod ct—if it will
not fit the o tlet, have a proper o tlet
installed by a q alified electrician.
