OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a maintenance-free walking
belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE™, a high­
performance lubricant. During the first few hours of
use, it is normal for a small amount of white powder to
appear on the foot rails and the walking platform. The
white powder is high-performance lubricant from the
walking belt.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat­
form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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 an equip­
ment-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.
A DANGER
! Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or ser­
viceman 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 outlet, have a prop­
er 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 illus­
trated in Drawing 1.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illus­
trated 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 tempo­
rary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (Drawing 1) can be installed by a qual­
ified 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 out­
let 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 deter­
mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
