Important Electrical Instructions
WARNING!
NEVER use a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) wall outlet with this treadmill. As with any appliance with a large
motor, the GFCI will trip often. Route the power cord away from any moving part of the treadmill including the
elevation mechanism and transport wheels.
NEVER remove any cover without rst disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten percent (10%) or more,
the performance of your treadmill 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 treadmill 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 specication 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 treadmill is rst turned on or even during use. If your treadmill is tripping the house circuit breaker (even
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
with a qualied 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 t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-volt 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 qualied 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.
