Ground Continuity Test

This test verifies that there is continuity (less than 100 mΩ
resistance) between exposed metal surfaces, which have the
potential to become energized, and the ground prong on the
mains AC power cord. Look for an exposed metal screw, or, if the
metal surfaces are anodized or painted, scrape off a small area
in an inconspicuous area on the aluminum casting, for the probe
to make direct contact with the metal.

Verify that the line, neutral (if applicable), and ground
conductors are properly connected to the power cord plug
and are not short-circuited. Replace the power cord if
necessary.
Failure of the power cord strain relief is very common.
Often users of the equipment pull on the power cord itself,
rather than the power cord plug, to unplug the unit from a
wall receptacle. If in doubt, test for continuity through
each.
Perform the Ground Continuity Test, below, or the test
method that is required by your Country/Local governing
safety organization. For international power cords, refer to
the internal standards agencies of that particular country.
Disconnect the power cord from wall outlet with the T2100-
ST Series treadmill power switch in the "ON" position.
Use a digital multimeter to check metal surfaces of the
equipment as illustrated below. Make adjustments for any
resistance in the test leads.
