OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD Use a Surge Suppressor Your incline trainer, like other electronic equipment, can be 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 risk of damaging the incline trainer, always use a surge suppressor with the incline trainer. To purchase a surge suppressor, see precaution 13 on page 3. nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do not plug other electrical devices, except for lowpower devices such as cell phone chargers, into the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same circuit. IMPORTANT: The incline trainer is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets. 1 Grounded Outlet Grounding Pin Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (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 also be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring 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 incline trainer and serious injury to users. Grounding Pin Surge Suppressor Plug in the Power Cord The incline trainer 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. The incline trainer power cord has a plug with a grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page). DANGER: Improper connec- tion of the power cord increases the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug-if it will not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether the incline trainer is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician. 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.

Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a qualified electrician to determine whether the outlet box cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. 17
