OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into an
appropriate outlet that Is properly Installed and grounded In accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANG E R: 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 out-
let, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Drawing 1. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Drawing 2 may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Drawing 2 if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. 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 electrician to determine If the outlet
box cover Is grounded before using an adapter.

MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING PLATFORM
This treadmill features a walking platform coated with a special hydrocarbon slip agent. Do not apply
silicone spray or any other substance to the walking platform or the walking belt. Such sub-
stances will deteriorate the surface of the walking platform and cause excessive wear. The first time
you use the treadmill, walk on the entire surface of the walking belt for 10 minutes to break in the walk-
ing platform. During this initial break-in period, it is normal for the walking belt to slow.
