Circuit Breakers: Avoid AFCI/GFCI circuit breakers
if possible. These breakers may trip occasionally during
exercise because of the high inrush currents of the
treadmill drive electronics and motor. This is an issue that
affects all treadmill brands. New laws in your area may
require these breakers. If you do have these breakers
and outlets in your home, and are experiencing nuisance
tripping, you should check if there are any other devices
plugged into the same circuit. Some examples of devices
that may also cause tripping are uorescent lights with
electronic ballasts, coffee maker, space heater, hair drier.
Optimally the treadmill should be the only device plugged
into the circuit. Our treadmills have surge suppressors
built in to help avoid nuisance tripping. We have tested
several AFCI/GFCI breakers and outlets with our products.
Brands we have tested are: Eaton (Cutler Hammer Series),
Leviton (Smart lock pro) and Schneider Electric (Canadian
home series). These breakers do not trip in our testing,
when connected to our treadmills, as long as no other
devices are plugged into the same circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If the your
equipment should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current,
reducing the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied 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 t the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician. This product is for use on a nominal
110-volt dedicated circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illustrated below may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
below if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet, (shown below) can be installed by a
qualied 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.
