the same circuit. Do not use an extension cord.  
13. Use only a single-outlet 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 dissi-  
pation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor

your local NordicTrack dealer or call 1-888-  
825-2588 and order part number 146148.  
2. Use the hiker only as described in this manual.  
3. The hiker is intended for in-home use only.  
Do not use the hiker in any commercial, rental,  
or institutional setting.  
4. Place the hiker on a level surface, with at  
least eight feet of clearance behind it. Do not  
place the hiker on any surface that blocks air  
openings. To protect the floor or carpet from  
damage, cover the floor under the hiker.  
14. Keep the power cord and the surge suppres-  
sor away from heated surfaces.  
5. Keep the hiker indoors, away from moisture  
and dust. Do not put the hiker in a garage or  
covered patio, or near water.  
15. The roller guards must be 1/8 inch from the  
rear roller (the location of the roller guards is  
shown on page 5). Unplug the power cord  
and adjust the roller guards, if necessary.  
6. Do not operate the hiker where aerosol prod-  
ucts are used or where oxygen is being ad-  
ministered.  
16. Never move the walking belt while the power  
is turned off. Do not operate the hiker if the  
power cord or plug is damaged, or if the hiker  
is not working properly. (See BEFORE YOU  
BEGIN on page 5 if the hiker is not working  
properly.)

sembled. (See ASSEMBLY on page 6.) You  
must be able to safely lift 45 pounds (20 kg) in

weighing more than 300 pounds.
