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 ot er
substances to t e walking belt or t e walking plat-
form. Suc substances will deteriorate t e 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 t e possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor wit your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
t e rig t). To purc ase a surge suppressor, see
your local PROFORM dealer or call 1-800-806-3651
and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor t at is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). T e surge suppressor must ave a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
T e surge suppressor must be electrically rated
for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. T ere must be a
monitoring lig t on t e surge suppressor to indi-
cate w et er it is functioning properly. Failure to
use a properly functioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to t e control system of t e
treadmill. If t e control system is damaged, t e
walking belt may c ange speed or stop unexpect-
edly, w ic may result in a fall and serious injury.
T is product must be grounded. 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. Plug t e power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug t e surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet t at is properly installed and grounded in
accordance wit all local codes and ordinances.
Important: T e treadmill is not compatible wit
GFCI-equipped outlets.
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 outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if t e outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER:Improper connection
of t e equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric s ock.
C eck wit a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to w et er t e
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
t e plug provided wit t e product—if it will
not fit t e outlet, ave a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
