grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a'Surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-
propriate 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 illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A tempora_ adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if apropedy grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
suit from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on oroff.

stblllty of your tread-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.

sold at most hardware
stores and depadment
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.

grounded. If it should
malfunction or break

The green-colored dgid 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 Itmust be held in place
by ametal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine If the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
