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. A DANGER: 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 outlet, 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 grounde&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. 1 Grounded Outlet Box 2 Grounding Plug • 0 0,0 • • IJ Grounded Outlet Box Adapter Grounding Pin p° • Grounding Plug Grounding Pin Grounded Outlet Lug Metal Screw MAINTENANCE-FREE WALKING PLATFORM This treadmill features a walking platform coated with a special hydrocarbon slip agent.
