Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING
NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent
(10%) or more, the performance of your Rower may be affected. Such conditions are not covered
under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local power company or a
licensed electrician for proper testing.
NEVER expose this Rower to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use outdoors,
near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating temperature
specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95% non-condensing (no water
drops forming on surfaces).
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that
can occur when a Rower is first turned on or even during use. If your Rower is tripping the house
circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the Rower
itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a
warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to control. This part is
available through most electrical supply stores. Examples: Grainger part # 1D237, or available
online at www.squared.com part #QO120HM.The electrical outlet used should have a dedicated
15 amp circuit breaker.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. If the Rower should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord having an equipment- grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
ANGER - Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 220 volt/10-amp, 110 volt/15-amp dedicated circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter that looks like the
adapter illustrated below may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet, (shown below) 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.
