OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE=LUBRICATED
WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-
performance lubricant, iMPORTANT:
Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances
to the walking
belt or the walking
platform. Such substances
will
deteriorate
the walking
belt and cause excessive
wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor
into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in
accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill
is not compatible
with
GFCl=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.
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
the possibility of
your treadmill
being damaged,
always use a surge
suppressor
with your treadmill
(see drawing 1 at
the right). To purchase a surge suppressor,
see
your local Sears store or call 1=800=366=7278 and
order part number 146148, or see your local elec=
tronics
store.
Use only a single-outlet
surge suppressor
that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient
voltage surge sup=
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a
UL suppressed
voltage rating of 400 volts or less
and a minimum
surge dissipation
of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor
must be electrically
rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a moni=
toting light on the surge suppressor
to indicate
whether it is functioning
properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning
surge suppressor
could result
in damage to the control system of the treadmill,
if
the control
system is damaged, the walking belt
may change speed, accelerate,
or stop unexpect=
edly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.
This 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

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 the outlet box cover is
grounded
before using an adapter.
