propriate outlet that Is properly Installed and
grounded In accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
This product isfor use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing I below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electdcian.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's pow.er.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
suit from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a propedy 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.

sibility of your tread-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware

rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
