Danger: This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, 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. The cord 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 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 treadmill requires a 100-120 Volt (50 Hz or 60 Hz), 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit must have a minimum of 12 gauge wire. A dedicated circuit is a power outlet reserved for the exclusive use of your treadmill. This requires a power line to be routed from the main breaker box or subpanel to the power outlet for the treadmill. The outlet should not be shared with any other piece of equipment. If you have not previously arranged for such an outlet, contact a qualified electrician to have one installed. An insufficient power supply may cause your treadmill to function improperly and will void the warranty. If you have any questions, please contact customer service.
