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

A DANGER:

Impropier connection

of the equipment-grounding donductor can
resblt in an Increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service­
man 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 proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrlclah.

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 NordicTrack dealer or call the toll-free
telephone number on the front cover of this man­

ual and order part number 146148, or see your local

electronics 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

toring 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
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

GFCI-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.

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.
