though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the treadmill 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.
This product must be grounded. If the treadmill 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.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check

A safety tether cord is provided with this unit. It is a simple magnetic design that should be
used at all times. It is for your safety should you fall or move too far back on the tread-belt.
Pulling this safety tether cord will stop tread-belt
movement.To Use:

Your treadmill will not start and operate without this. Removing the magnet also secures
the treadmill from unauthorized use.

magnet has strong enough power to minimize accidental, unexpected stopping.The clip
should be attached securely to make certain it does not come off. Be familiar with its
function and limitations.The treadmill will stop, depending on speed, with a one to two
step coast anytime the magnet is pulled off the console. Use the Stop / Pause switch in
normal operation.
